Planet Noglion

  "There's a surgeon who can help you. The male can fix your leg so that you can walk better and you won't have any more pain."

  "I don't want to go through more surgeries and then have to endure weeks of recovery and rehabilitation. I went through enough of that after the injury."

  "If you don't get the surgery, you'll be in pain for the rest of your life. Is that really what you want? Do you like being in pain?"

  Finn sighed. He hated the pain. He hated the scars. It reminded him that his crew had been killed. How could he move on when they had all lost their lives?

  "Are you going to stay locked in your quarters forever?"

  "Khaun..."

  "I'm serious."

  "Khaun..."

  "What about the human? What about Eric?" he questioned.

  Truthfully, Finn hadn't given it much thought.

  "He's our mate, and you're the leader of our family."

  "He has you and Gru."

  "That's true," Khaun agreed. "But he also needs you, Finn."

  Finn shook his head.

  He'd come to the bathing chamber to relax, but he knew that was impossible now. Rising to his feet, Finn limped as he climbed out of the large tub. He grabbed a towel, wrapped it around his waist, and cinched the material at his hip.

  "Damn it, Finn," Khaun growled. "Talk to me."

  Without another word, Finn left the bathing chamber.

  * * * *

  "Stubborn bastard," he muttered after Finn left.

  Truth be told, Khaun didn't understand why Finn wouldn't get the surgery. The male wasn't only the leader of their family. He was a hero. But for some reason, Finn thought of himself as a failure.

  He'd survived when the rest of his crew died. How long was Finn going to punish himself? How long was he going to suffer? They were questions that only Finn could answer.

  Khaun could only hope that his brother would eventually stop punishing himself. For the last six years, Khaun and Gru had been trying to reach Finn. They wanted to help him, but Finn didn't want their help. He distanced himself, keeping a wall up between them. It was frustrating because, no matter what Khaun did, he couldn't break through.

  But maybe now, things would change. It was a small bit of hope that Khaun could hold on to. Their mate might be able to help Finn heal. The human might be able to give Finn something else to live for. Khaun missed his brother. It felt as though he'd been living with a stranger since Finn returned. They could barely have a conversation. It broke Khaun's heart.

  Rising to his feet, Khaun took the stairs, climbing out of the whirlpool. He grabbed a towel and dried off, removing the moisture from his scaled skin. When he was done, Khaun picked up his loincloth from the floor and strode out of the bathing chamber. Khaun walked toward his private quarters. He stopped beside Eric's room, lingering outside the door.

  "Khaun," Gru said his name.

  Lifting his hand, Khaun pressed the button beside the door, and it slid open.

  "Do you want to join us?" he whispered.

  Khaun smiled. He didn't need to be asked twice. Walking around the bed, Khaun slid onto the mattress, careful not to jostle Eric. He didn't want to wake the young man. Gru rolled onto his side, placing Eric between them. Moving closer to his mate, Khaun pressed his chest against Eric's back and wrapped his arm around the human's waist. Holding Eric was surprisingly satisfying. It soothed him.

  The human was warm and soft, and he smelled amazing. Khaun pressed his face against the top of Eric's head and inhaled. He ran his nose through the young man's curls. The texture of the strands tickled Khaun's face. Everything about Eric was tempting. Their mate was delicious.

  "Are you okay?" Gru asked.

  "I'm feeling a lot better now."

  "It feels good to hold him, doesn't it?"

  Khaun sighed. "Amazing."

  Holding Eric had a calming effect on him. All the stress Khaun had been feeling seemed to melt away, disappearing.

  "You know, you're not going to be able to change his mind."

  Khaun knew that Gru was talking about Finn. But Khaun couldn't let go. Even if Khaun irritated the hell out of Finn, he wasn't going to stop trying to get through to his brother.

  "Do you think Eric might be able to get through to Finn?"

  Gru lifted himself up, placing his weight on his forearm, and looked at Khaun. The male gave him a pointed look and asked, "Is that what you're hoping?"

  Khaun sighed. "Yes."

  "Do you really think that Finn is going to give Eric a chance?" Even though Gru posed it as a question, the male started shaking his head. "He's been avoiding us since he returned. He's going to avoid Eric, as well."

  "Finn won't be able to avoid Eric if we put the human in his path."

  Gru arched a bony brow. "And how do you suggest we do that?"

  "I don't know," Khaun told him. "Maybe you can help me figure that out."

  Gru grinned. "I'll give it some thought."

  The male lay back down. Gru moved his hand in a circular motion in the center of Eric's back. The human groaned and shifted, moving closer to Gru.

  "It's okay, pet," Gru said, his tone low.

  Eric sighed. It was a sweet sound that slipped past his lips.

  Khaun smiled. Closing his eyes, Khaun fell asleep beside his mate.

  Chapter Ten

  Eric woke up to stroking touches. Two sets of hands moved over Eric's body, exploring and caressing his chest, stomach, arms, and legs. Fingers moved through his hair, combing back the strands from his forehead. Eric groaned and stretched, coming back to consciousness. He blinked his eyes open and looked at the males. Gru and Khaun sat on the bed, one of either side of him. More surprised than frightened, Eric glanced back and forth.

  Gru grinned. "Good morning, pet."

  Eric cleared his throat. "Good morning."

  "Did you sleep well?" Khaun asked.

  He nodded, momentarily speechless.

  Eric glanced from Gru to Khaun, and as their eyes met, he felt excitement rush through him. The males were both naked, their cocks hard and glistening. Eric sucked in a sharp breath, unsure of how to respond. A new and unexpected warmth surged through him. In truth, this felt like a fantasy come to life. But, even in those wild dreams, Eric never thought he would end up in a relationship with more than one man.

  "Do you want to touch us?" When Eric didn't respond, the male said, "Pet."

  Eric jerked his head up and looked at Gru. "Huh?"

  Gru's smile broadened in approval. The male knew the effect they were having on him. Eric's cock was hard, all the blood rushing toward his shaft in anticipation.

  Very slowly, Khaun repeated, "Do you want to touch us?"

  Eric licked his lips. It was an invitation he couldn't refuse. The males moved closer to Eric, surrounding him. Eric sat up and crossed his legs. Reaching out, Eric splayed his fingers out over Khaun's scaled flesh.

  "How do I feel?" the male asked. "Tell me."

  "Your body temperature is cooler than mine. You're hard and strong." That was an understatement. The males were huge and incredibly muscular. Their bodies were bulky yet well defined. "The scales...they're slick when I move my hands this direction." Eric moved his hands downward. "And rough when I go this way." He moved his hands upward.

  "Do you like how I feel?"

  Eric nodded, never taking his eyes from where his hands touched the male's body. His skin was so different from the males.

  "Can I touch you, pet?"

  He glanced up at the male. He could tell that Khaun was holding himself back, waiting for Eric's consent. Eric already knew he belonged to Gru and the other males in his family unit, but still, he glanced over at Gru. The male nodded. He wasn't necessarily looking for Gru's permission, but knowing that the male approved gave Eric the confidence he needed.

  "Yes."

  The males reacted immediately. Gru and Khaun moved at the same time. Khaun cupped Eric's face and pressed their lips together. When Eric gasped, Khaun took advantag
e. The male slid his tongue deep into Eric's mouth. Eric's tongue slid across Khaun's. Their mouths moved together, tongues dancing. At the same time, Gru placed a trail of kisses down Eric's throat and nibbled on his collarbone.

  Khaun pulled back, leaving Eric breathless. Gru and Khaun worked together. They let their mouths and hands roam freely over Eric. He groaned, his entire body on fire. Eric was becoming desperate. He wanted more. They moved lower and lower still.

  Rough fingers pinched his nipples, sharp fingernails scratched his skin, leaving their mark, and hungry mouths sucked and licked and kissed. They caressed and explored. Not an inch of flesh remained untouched. Eric bucked against the males. The gentle scratches seemed to set off a cascade of adrenaline under his skin. He cried out. The pleasure was intense and overwhelming.

  Strong hands flipped Eric over onto his belly as if he weighed nothing. Gru and Khaun gave his backside the same treatment, licking and sucking and kissing.

  "Hands and knees, pet," Gru ordered.

  Eric lifted himself up.

  Gru reached out and ran his thumb over Eric's lips. "You're so damn beautiful."

  Eric kissed the male's digit.

  Gru dropped his hand. He leaned down and captured Eric's lips. This kiss was different. It was hard and demanding. The male pushed his tongue into Eric's mouth. Their tongues met and curled together, twisting and turning. Eric moaned.

  Khaun moved in behind him. The male leaned down, grabbed hold of Eric's ass cheeks, and licked his hole. At the first contact, Eric jerked forward. The male's tongue swirled around Eric's hole, lashing his entrance before slowly penetrating Eric. The male plunged his tongue deeper. He alternated speeds, slow then fast, adding even more stimulation by nipping at Eric's skin with his teeth. The hungry sounds he made while he ate Eric's ass drove Eric insane.

  Eric's muscles flexed, and his asshole fluttered. He swiveled his hips, desperate for more. Eric wanted to feel the male's cock. Khaun tightened his grip, holding Eric in place. The male refused to allow any movement. Khaun pulled back. Eric wasn't given a chance to miss the male's tongue. It was quickly replaced by a toy.

  Khaun pushed the dildo past the sensitive ring of nerves and muscle and pressed steadily inside. Slowly, he pulled it out and then pushed it in again, over and over. The toy seemed to grow, thickening and lengthening, within Eric's hole. Eric grabbed hold of the bedding, holding the material. He moved his hips back, riding the toy.

  Eric whined. "I need--"

  Khaun growled. "I know what you need."

  The male moved the toy in and out, over and over, working him and relaxing his muscles. Khaun male twisted the dildo and pulled it out of Eric's ass. He knelt between Eric's legs. Gently he nudged his cock against Eric's entrance.

  "Push out, pet," Khaun told him, and gently pushed his shaft inside him, mounting him.

  Khaun slowly sank his cock into Eric, filling him. Eric moaned, and the male growled, a low rumbling sound that reverberated through his chest. Khaun slid his cock all the way in, sinking his shaft deep into Eric. Eric cried out and arched his back. He felt stuffed full, impaled on the male's shaft. Khaun sat back on his heels and pulled Eric back into his lap. Eric gasped at the unexpected movement. The male kissed his neck. He wrapped one arm around Eric's waist, and with his other hand, Khaun stroked Eric's cock.

  Slowly he began to ease his cock back and forth inside him. He moved in and out, slowly and deeply, rubbing that spot inside Eric and stroking his cock. Khaun thrust up. The male held Eric in place firmly while pounding against him.

  Eric's mouth fell open, and he vocalized his pleasure. "Ah, ah, ah, ah..."

  Khaun took Eric back down to his hands and knees. The male grabbed hold of Eric's hips. The male moved, pulling his cock out before pushing back in.

  A hand combed Eric's hair, scraping his clawed nails against Eric's scalp. Gru fisted the strands, pulling Eric's head up.

  Gru knelt in front of Eric. The male's cock was hard, pointing at Eric's mouth. "Open for me."

  Eric opened his mouth. The cock was so big Eric had to stretch his mouth open wide. The male was careful, gentle. Gru's cock was slick with lubricant, a sweet-spicy fluid that coated the male's shaft. The taste filled Eric's mouth, making his tongue tingle. Eric twirled his tongue all over the flesh. Gru tasted delicious, and Eric wanted more. The male was in charge. Gru guided him, trying to control his movements.

  "Your mouth feels so good," Gru said, his voice rough with pleasure.

  Eric moaned his reply around the male's shaft, doubling his efforts. Eager for more, Eric rocked back and forth, taking more of Khaun into his ass while swallowing Gru's cock. Eric moved, sucking and fucking. He thought about the position he was in between Gru and Khaun, one cock in his ass and the other in his mouth. The idea of it had him moaning around Gru's hard cock. He felt completely and utterly possessed. The males moved slowly, taking care of Eric.

  He felt his arms and legs start to tremble as Khaun began a swift thrusting motion, moving in and out of him. The male was in control.

  Eric writhed, trapped between both of the males. Pleasure built inside him, moved through him, and crashed over him. Eric whimpered as the male hit his prostate. He came then, hard and fast, as he bucked between the males, shooting ribbons of cum across the bedding. Khaun kept thrusting through it, never missing a stroke, drawing out Eric's orgasm.

  "Coming, pet," Gru groaned in warning. "Oh! My mate!"

  Hot, spicy-sweet fluid splashed against Eric's tongue and face. The male came in thick steams. Eric swallowed Gru's spunk the best he could, but there was no way he could take it all.

  Gru caressed his cheek. It was a sweet gesture. The male sighed. He dropped down so that he was face level with Eric. Gru kissed him, connecting their lips in a passionate kiss.

  Khaun rammed his cock harder and harder into Eric, rocking the bed with the force of his thrusts. The long, thick dick filled him so perfectly, brushing across his prostate with every thrust of Khaun's hips. Eric groaned. When Khaun's thrusts faltered, the male let out a loud cry. His hips jerked erratically as he filled Eric's ass with spunk.

  The force of Eric's orgasm stole his breath. Eric panted heavily. He fell forward, dropping down onto the mattress, and Khaun followed him. The male was still buried deep in Eric's ass. The weight felt good against Eric's back. Eric closed his eyes, relaxing against the soft bedding. Sleepy and sated, Eric remained limp as the males moved around him.

  Gru and Khaun were on either side of him. The males wrapped their arms around Eric, holding him, and Eric let himself get lost in their embrace. Gru brushed his lips back and forth across the top of Eric's head before bringing their lips together in a little kiss. Warm and content, Eric fell asleep between his lovers.

  Chapter Eleven

  When Eric woke up for the second time that morning, he was in bed alone. Eric rubbed his eyes as he sat up. Glancing around, Eric studied the room. He hadn't gotten much of a chance to see it when he'd first arrived. Eric had been too distracted. And then, Gru and Khaun worked together to keep him completely occupied.

  The room was cozy and surprisingly roomy. The stone walls were brick-red, and there were three tapestries hanging, each depicting a desert scene with mountains and plants and two suns. The floor was polished stone covered in intricately woven rugs, made of different fabric. Aside from the bed, the only other furniture was a couple of chairs, a bench with pillows, and a table.

  Climbing out of bed, Eric glanced around, looking for something to wear. It took a minute, but eventually, Eric realized that he didn't have any clothing. Eric pulled a blanket off the bed and wrapped it around his shoulders, covering his nudity. He didn't know if he would ever be comfortable enough to be naked.

  He strode out of the room and followed the noise, walking down the hallway. Eric moved slowly, cautiously. When he reached the end of the hall, the room opened up. There was a spacious sitting area with a fire pit in the center surrounded by comfortable looking seats. The walls were
the same brick-colored stone as the rest of the house. The kitchen, to his right, was large with dark-colored countertop and stools tucked neatly beneath the bar.

  When he stepped into the main part of the living quarters, Eric spotted Gru. The male was standing in the kitchen, slicing something with a sharp tool. Eric stood there for a minute, just watching the male move around the kitchen.

  When Gru looked up, their eyes connected, and the male smiled. He looked truly happy to see Eric.

  "Are you hungry?" he asked.

  Eric nodded.

  Gru smiled. "Come on over and take a seat."

  Eric strolled toward the kitchen. He took a seat on one of the bar stools. Gru made breakfast, cooking sliced meat over an open flame. When he was done, Gru put the food on a square plate. He slid the plate across the bar, placing it in front of Eric.

  Eric stared down at the foreign-looking food. "What is this?"

  "It's a popular meat dish called seared momoo."

  Eric nodded. "Sounds good."

  Gru chuckled softly. "I'm not much of a cook."

  He shrugged. "It looks yummy."

  "It's not what you're used to eating, but it is similar to the food you were given on the starship."

  Eric picked up the utensil on the counter. He stabbed a piece of meat, lifted it up to his nose, and sniffed. It reminded him of beef except the cuts of meat were very lean with no fat marbling in any of the slices. Eric opened his mouth and took a bite. He chewed slowly, savoring the flavor. It was tasty. Eric ate, shoveling the food into his mouth until he was full. When Eric was done, he placed the utensil on the plate and wiped the back of his hand across his mouth.

  Eric smiled. "Thank you."

  "You're welcome." Gru picked up Eric's plate from the counter and placed it in the sink.

  Eric tightened the blanket, keeping it wrapped snugly around his shoulders.

  "Would you like to go out?" Gru asked. "I need to pick up a few things at the market."

  Eric perked up and nodded, excited. He really wanted to do some exploring around Noglion. He wanted to learn more about the planet he would be calling home.
