“Done,” Jate said.
“Good, let's get back to the boat. We have to take the long way around, it is the only way,” I said.
We swam together back to the boat and pulled ourselves in. Priah untied it and we begin to slowly paddle away. I looked back at the lieutenant, his body was floating. We had taken his life, and I didn't feel good about it. But it was a necessity. This was the only way to protect Sabine and our family, and it needed to be done. This Lieutenant was not going to leave us alone no matter what. I turned away from him and looked ahead, toward our future.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Priah
I would do whatever it took to take care of Sabine and my child. We had just committed a crime, one that there was no turning back from. Taking the life of one of our own kind went against everything, but we did what we had to do.
We walked into our home in the middle of the night.
“Is it done?” Neevon asked as he came out of the living room into the foyer meeting us at the front door.
“It is done,” Kandyr answered.
“Is what done? What happened? Where have you been?” Sabine said coming out of the living room, wiping sleep from her eyes.
“Nothing to concern yourself with, everything is going to be fine now,” I said walking to her and putting my hands on her shoulders. She looked up at me with worry in her eyes.
“I need to know. We are a family now, there are no more secrets. I need to know what is going on, you owe me that much,” she said.
I turned to look at the Commander. He stepped forward.
“We did what we had to do. We got rid of the problem. He will not be coming to us and threatening us ever again. Our secret is safe,”
“You killed him, didn't you?” She asked.
We stayed silent. No one wanted to answer her. We had all thought it was better that she did not know the truth, but she was a smart human and then figured it out herself. Then she said something that shocked us.
“Good. I am glad that he is gone. If you would have given him what he wanted he wouldn't be satisfied and he would come back for more and more favors, constantly threatening us. Even I can see that, so it is better this way. I feel relieved. I don't want to have a pregnancy full of anxiety, wondering when he's going to knock at our door. I don't want to spend my pregnancy wondering when you will be taken away from me, all of you, and I will be taken somewhere and possibly my child taken away. It is better this way, and I am glad that you did it,” she said.
We all looked at each other, surprised. Then a smile came across each of our faces.
“Let's get out of these wet clothes, and take our wife to the safety of her bed. Tomorrow will be a new day, a day without threats and danger,” I said.
“I like that plan,” Sabine smiled.
“Yes, I agree with that,” Kandyr said.
“Well, my clothes aren't wet,” Neevon laughed.
We all laughed with him. Upstairs, we changed out of are clothes and slept on the massive bed surrounding our pregnant wife, offering her comfort and protection.
The next morning was cause for celebration. We all sat down to a big breakfast of eggs, meat, and potatoes. High spirits were being had by all.
“To Sabine, the human female that we found about to be ravaged by a graptor. She could take on a forest full of them,” I said, lifting my cup of water.
“To Sabine,” everyone raised their glasses.
“Thank you, and to my husbands, the soldiers that I know will do anything for me, risk their lives, and get into danger. It means a lot to me.” she said.
“I love you Sabine,” I said.
“As do I, I love you Sabine,” Jate said.
“I love you.” Neevon added.
“I love you too,” Kandyr said.
“I love all four of you just as deeply,” she answered.
I looked at the pale human with blond hair. I had taken her virginity. I was the one that started all of this, and I couldn't be happier. Now she was going to have my child, and I would protect her and the child with my life.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Sabine
I was completely shocked when they walked through the door, but relieved. They were all there and they were all in one piece! I had been so worried. When I realized that they had taken the life of Lieutenant Dirgo, I was surprised to realize that I was relieved. I had not stopped thinking about this Lieutenant ever since he showed up at our door. I knew that he was trouble and always would be, and that he was trying to take away my family. It had been a long time since I had a family, and I did not want to put my child in danger. I would do anything for my child and I was glad that my husbands felt the same way.
A week went by without incident, and I had never felt happier. To think that I had been in the wilderness alone, and I would still be there if they had not comefor me. I would have been torn to pieces by that graptor if they had not saved me. I owed my husbands a lot.
“Who has a shift today?” Commander Kandyr, my husband, asked as we all sat outside in the backyard overlooking the pool covered in green algae.
“I don't,” Priah said.
“Me either,”
“Nope.”
“Is this possible? We all have the same day off from our responsibilities? This has never happened,” Kandyr said.
“Well this makes me happy, I like having all of you around,” I said.
“Then let's do something. Sabine has been cooped up inside of this house for too long. We can at least take her for a drive in the vehicle,” Neevon said.
“Yes, I like that idea,” I said.
“Then it is up to our wife. Where do you want to go, lovely human?” Priah asked.
“I know exactly where I want to go. Kandyr took me there once. I would like to go back,” I said.
He arched his brow at me. “The ruins of the museum?”
“Yes, exactly.”
“Then that is where we will go. Jate, make sure that we have ample water and food supplies to take with us,”
“Yes,Commander,I'm on it.” Jate said and went outside..
“Neevon, make sure the vehicle is charged.”
“I got it,” Neevon said leaving us.
“Priah, make sure that our weapons are charged. We leave in 20 minutes,”
“Yes, commander.”
My husbands were all outside following the orders of their Commander. I looked at him and stood up, standing directly in front of him.
“And me? Do you have any orders for me, Commander?”
He smiled that brilliant smile. His white teeth flashed and contrast against his blue skin.
“Yes, I do and it is the most important order of all.”
“That sounds intriguing, I am listening, Commander, and reporting for duty.”
“Kiss me, human.”
“That is a very hard order. I am not sure that I can fulfill it,” I said teasing him.
“You better, or there will be punishment, perhaps a spanking,” he said.
“Mmm, I like the sound of that,” I said.
He laughed and leaned forward. I pressed my lips against his, kissing him deeply, passionately.
“And I have one more order”
“Yes?”
“I want you to have a good time today. Laugh, smile, and truly enjoy yourself, because you give me complete happiness.”
“I can do that.”
Later, we walked around the ruins of the museum. I realized that this was a date with four of my husbands, the best day that I would ever have. So much had happened since they had found me in the wilderness. They had saved me and I had saved them. We were now one big happy family, deciding to co-exist as a group and raise our baby together. We would continue to share our sensual Pleasures with each other and to breed, creating a brighter future for all of us and for our children.
Epilogue
Sabine
I looked down at my beautiful child, holding him in my arms. He was half hum
an and half Dain, and the most beautiful child I had ever seen.
“There, there, Erun,” I said comforting him as he slept in my arms.
I was in my bedroom, putting our child to sleep. It was just before dinner, and Kandyr and Priah were downstairs preparing it. Neevon and Jate were still at work. I had settled in comfortably to this life and to being a mother. I had to admit that having four husbands gave me all the help that I needed with raising a child. I definitely wasn't doing it alone. They were there in the middle of the night when our child woke up, taking turns putting him back to sleep.
“Now that is a beautiful sight,” Priah said, coming into the room.
“What is?”I asked.
“You, carrying my child.”
“Oh, that is very sweet.”
Priah pressed his chest against my back and looked down over my shoulder at his child. Yes, we all considered him to be everyone's child, but Priah obviously had a special bond. This was his offspring after all.
“I came to tell you that dinner is ready.”
“I will be right down. He just went back to sleep. But I often have a hard time putting him down and I always want to hold him,” I said.
“I know the feeling,” he said.
I laid Erun down and placed a kiss on his forehead. I walked down stairs with Priah and into the kitchen.
“How is he?” Kandyr asked.
“I just put him to sleep. He is resting.” I gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Jate and Neevon entered. “We are home. It was a hard day at work, good to be home.”
“Welcome, I missed you both,” I said, giving them all kisses. I would never get tired of this. I always thought that it would be too hard to spread love between four men, but I had proved myself wrong.
I had more than enough love to give them. Not only that, I wanted to give them all of my love and I accepted all of their protection. They were everything to me and now I couldn't imagine life without them. These alien Dains, the strong soldiers that I was supposed to hate, I loved them more than anything. This was my life, and my future.

Chapter One
Shia Heton
"We are under attack!” I shouted into the intercom of the research space station that I had lived on for over a year. “I repeat, we are under attack!”
Boom! I was thrown across the experiment station room as the space station violently shook. I didn't know if this was because it had been bombed or had been rammed, but either one was very terrifying.
Sirens blared into the air and red and blue lights flashed off and on in the chaos. I could only think of one thing. “They found us” I said out loud to myself.
By they, I meant the alien warrior race known as the Corillion. Earth had been at war with this warrior race for the last ten years, and yet we knew nothing about them other than the fact that they were physically dominant to the human male species. They were taller, at almost 8 feet tall, stronger, had blue scales on various parts of their body, and they were ruthless, brutal fighters.
Male humans did not stand a chance against them in hand to hand combat, and our technology was not as advanced as theirs, but this didn't stop us from trying to figure out a way to stop them from what they had been doing: abducting human females.
"To the escape pods! Now!” the captain of the space station shouted over the intercom. My eyes grew wide as I realized just how far away I was from the escape pods. I was on the complete opposite side of the space station. I would never make it.
"I'm on my way!” I shouted as I grabbed onto the counter to press the intercom. A few other voices of the crew joined in confirming they were headed to the escape pods. There were only fifteen other people on the space station, including myself in that number. I and one other woman were the only females. The rest of the crew was men. The space station was still violently shaking, and I had to hold on from one counter to a table and onto the walls in order to stand up and try to make my way out of the experiment room and into the hallway.
Boom! I was knocked off my feet again. It seemed all but impossible to make it to the escape pods. I cursed that I had fallen asleep during my experiment. If I had not, I would have been in my sleep bunk, which was located very close to the escape pods. If that had been the case, then my entire life would have turned out differently, but I couldn’t have known it then.
"They have locked onto us!” I heard Lieutenant Marksman shout over the intercom.
"No,” I said out loud to myself. I felt so alone and so terrified of being in this part of the space station all by myself. We were doomed. Once an enemy ship locked on to a vessel, there was no escape. The ship that locked on had complete control with manual override of the space station. They would lock onto the airlock and board us easily. It was all over. We were in no shape to defend ourselves. The space station was a research vessel, not a military one. We were not equipped to fight for ourselves, and we were very, very, far from Earth. No one would be coming to our aid. Even if they were warned, they would never get here in time.
"Dr. Elmore launching escape pod number three!” I heard Dr. Elmore's voice say over the intercom. He had made it to an escape pod. I wondered how many more had made it there. Would I be the only one left on the space station? I hated the thought of it. I looked around the room for a weapon of any kind, but I knew that it would be no match against Corillion weapons. I stood up and tried once more to run down the hallway, but just when I got some traction, the ship would jolt again, knocking me off of my feet. My best bet would be to hide somewhere, and hope that they did not find me before finally leaving. I crawled into a cabinet and awaited my fate.
I knew taking this assignment aboard the space station was a risky move. But I never thought that we would be attacked in such a way. I never thought that I would find myself in such a terrifying moment waiting for the dominant alien male warriors to take me into deep space, never to see Earth again. But how could I have known that when I first started on this mission?
It all started when I, Dr. Shia Heton, joined the space station mission in order to conduct my sound experiments. I studied deep space sound. I recorded all kinds of activity that traveled across deep space. This space station was going into incredible depths of deep space in order to gather information that could help Earth understand and find out more information about the Corillion race. My studies fit with that agenda because I would be able to pick up any transmissions that the Corillion aliens would be making that crossed our path. Therefore I was granted permission to participate in the research mission.
Joining us were one other female scientist studying astronomical gases, Alexis Scott, and Andrew Diaz, who was studying space biology. There were two more general scientists on board, and the rest of the crew were astronauts that managed the day-to-day needs of the space station. A few of them also had their own science experiments, but they were astronauts first and scientist second. Together, we had set off from Earth a year before and were taken to the space station just outside the solar system. Then once aboard, the space station was set into a spin motion to spin into the far reaches of space toward the asteroid belts.
It was an unknown area that was rarely studied. That was until the Corillions appeared in our lives. It had been complete chaos since they did. At first, it was a peaceful interaction, but once Earth refused to share human females with them willingly, the Corillions became hostile. That was when a war eventually broke out. It inspired many people to suddenly become interested in the sciences. It was as though science was now a military defense against the alien warrior race.
No one knew where the Corillion came from. They just appeared out of nowhere. It was said that they had spawned from an asteroid in deep space, but those were just rumors. That seemed highly unlikely to me, but they were a very mysterious race of males. All kinds of rum
ors surrounded the alien warrior race about their powers and incredible fighting skills. They were beyond mysterious, and I found myself drawn to their mystery.
I had seen a Corillion warrior before, but only once many years before. But that one time was enough to have his image burned into my memory forever. I remembered seeing the warrior with blue scales on half of his body. I remembered the long, dark hair, dark eyes, and extremely tall, muscular physique. I had never seen a male like it before. It stunned me. It intrigued me. That was how I became fascinated with these creatures from deep space. It was after I saw one that I wanted to know as much as possible about them. But I wanted to do it from afar, not to have any immediate interaction with them. I wanted to study them from a distance and not interact or be in their world. So I applied for and was accepted to conduct my studies on the space station mission.
“Dr. Shia Heton, your field of studying sound in space is very intriguing to us. Only a few scientists are doing what you are doing. We think you might be the perfect candidate for the space station missions,” the Earth Science Council said to me as I stood in front of them with my red hair pulled into a bun and a black pantsuit covering my petite body.
“Thank you. I am grateful to be considered for the opportunity,” I said while smiling at the fact that out of five thousand scientists, I had made the final rounds.
“The next round is not academic in nature; it is physical training. You and your competitors will go through two months of training to see if your body can withstand the rigors of space.”
“I am excited to be able to do the training,” I said, knowing that the other scientist studying sound that I was up against at this stage were almost ten to fifteen years older than me. After being turned down so many times by the academic world because so many others had more experience simply because they were older, it was refreshing that my young age finally gave me the advantage.
