Lilra nodded sadly “This around us that you see is all that is left of our once great civilization, and places like this. You see we mined larger crystal deposits, that led to vast tunnel systems, so we rounded them out and created large vehicles that travel along these tunnels…most are gone now, but when we started to study your people, we managed to resurrect a few to use for our transportation here…”
Murg chuckled “And that got more of our people interested in visiting other old sites on our world. Or at least interested in finding more.”
Lilra laughed “And this guy at one time was one of the ones that screamed loudest that we were betraying our laws.
“Then Lilra showed me good arguments as to why we should study your people. At first it was getting involved studying your ways, then language. Of course it was so confusing, all those recordings, languages and dialects. There had been some reports that other wheels had fallen from the sky and once they found you, we knew which language you used and concentrated on that one. We’ve been readying ourselves for many years for this day when our two species met. Of course the elders made it clear that it would have to be your race that initiated first contact. I however had been curious of the things Lilra showed me.”
“Murg became intently interested, but not convinced.” Lilra elbowed him in the ribs playfully.
“Then she showed me the sex recordings…can you believe that we never had heard of oral…” Murg got a much heavier elbow in the ribs that made him grunt…which was followed by a loud snort “Well, it was you that showed me!”
Tom chuckled as he shot a glance to Gina “Lilra, it does always seem to get back to sex does it not.”
Lilra nodded with a smile “Murg and I are, as you have to have figured out by now, lovers. I finally talked him into coming with me on a trip here.”
Murg chuckled loudly “And once she got me on the tunnel transport, I was hooked in the old traditional ways our ancestors used.”
“Our islands have tall towers that draw lightning that power large crystals that maintain power for months, larger ones for years. They in turn power smaller ones for nearly all our power. We use wind generators to replenish and maintain a steady power to the crystals when there has been a lack of storms. Some places use volcanic heat for power generation.” she smiled softly “But here, all crystal…plenty of storms as you are well aware of, one is raging as we speak.”
“Really?” Hans muttered “Can’t hear a thing?”
“We’re nearly one hundred feet down in this room.” Murg added “Only the observation room above is near the surface and within the tor that you saw from the river. We have something similar to your video and when we don’t go to watch your wheel from the jungle…” Murg noticed Harry beginning to open his mouth and chuckled “we also have very good telescopes and long range lenses. We can show you your wheel from the cliffs nearly a mile away to your north. We have the outer observation post just outside of your protected crop areas in the southern jungle fringe from your wheel.”
“We can’t go there very often because of the velociraptors,” Hans replied “They’re the thickest there and it’s far too deadly to…hey, I though you all said they attacked you guys as well?”
“They do, but with a tunnel under most mountains in this continent, it wasn’t too hard to get set up, though we have lost N’rog over the years.”
“Thought you called your selves ‘people’ as well.” Gina asked.
“We do…within our caste, but we have more evolved, smaller dinosaurs similar to your old dogs that we use for protection and detection. They defend us and many times give their lives for us.”
Tom nodded solemnly “I can remember a dog someone grew from a genetic bank but it was eaten defending the doctor that brought it to life. We got to keep it mostly, but it always went out with old Ben.”
Gina nodded “He was so grief stricken, no one wanted to bring any others to life until we somehow made things safe.”
Harry muttered “Something we haven’t been able to do in nearly four hundred years. Records showed that other dogs and cats always find a way to get out of the wheel and…”
Tom’s face suddenly lit up “Lilra? By chance do you have any tunnels to the south? We don’t even need to ride, just get us past this raptor territory.”
Gina was startled “NO! We might miss Sky and Dar.” Of course that brought questions from the two N’rog. Tom, with a few interjections from the others, told his tale and of the search.
Murg sat back and nodded “You must truly be a great leader if you inspire others to follow you on such a dangerous mission…and so far away from your home.”
“Yeah, he’s my best friend,” Harry snorted “These other two are just fuckin’ idiots.”
Lilra and Murg shot glances at each other and then looked at Gina and Hans. It was Lilra that asked with a serious expression “Oh…we though that Gina and Tom were lovers…” to which Tom choked on his jungle brew “not you and Hans.”
Gina chuckled loudly “Whatever gave you that idea?”
Murg looked puzzled “The term idiots we understand and assume it was a light attempt at humor, but you said they were fucking and according to the recorder disks that were found, fucking is something that two…”
Tom laughed “Let me see if I can explain…” he looked at the rest of his friends and shrugged “swearing?” With that he tried to explain why some crew member’s recordings differed from the wheel’s data banks and recordings, what cussing was, and how humans sometimes changed one word for another for various reasons. After nearly fifteen minutes and two blank reptilian faces, Tom smiled and finished with “It’s something that you’ll just have to pick up as we get to know you all better. However that will have to wait, I have to find out what happened to my sister and friend.” he sighed softly and sadly “You see my father isn’t going to be around much longer, he’s old and getting frail…I have to find her…or her body.”
Lilra nodded “We understand and perhaps we may be able to help. Although we have nothing south of here, we do have the area mapped.”
Murg chuckled “She means we have terrain maps, not well documented maps. However they should be of some use to you. We can make copies of them for you to take with you on your journey.”
“Thank you, “Tom replied as he slowly arose “they will be of help. Sky was too far from base to get a good radio signal, but flew her skimmer straight up. She radioed her status but her skimmer sent back only a weak video signal of the area. All we could see were trees and sky, not much else. I did bring along a holo-projection of the overlay.”
Murg nodded as he stood “Understood, if you can compare what you have and overlay it onto our map.”
Tom grinned “Then we know where she and Dar went down. From that much, and as well as I knew my sister, I should be able to figure out where she may have decided to go and we can back track from the river. Hopefully we can find the general area of the crash.”
Harry nodded in agreement and then looked at the huge male N’rog “Then all we have to do is avoid being eaten.”
Lilra nodded to one of the reptiles sitting at another table. He arose and walked slowly over as Lilra reached down and grasped an object about the size of Tom’s pistol.
“This will shock any raptor you run up against.”
Hans laughed and patted his pistol “Thanks, but that pea-shooter? Prefer this to drop a raptor.”
Lilra smiled sweetly at Hans “But will your gun drop a tyrannosaurus rex? This little pea-shooter as you call it will…whatever a pea-shooter is. It produces a non-lethal shock that will chase away most reptiles.”
Harry sputtered “Most?”
Murg chuckled “It’s still better to hide, but if discovered, it’s better than what you have.”
Tom just smiled and thanked the pair. He also asked them to show him maps and after hours he and Murg had a good idea where Sky had crashed. Then it hit him that he was extremely tired and he was shown to his room
in the large, but mostly vacant, underground complex.
He closed the door and in the dimly lit room, was amazed at how similar living quarters were between the two races. As he fumbled around in the mostly dark room he muttered “Well, other than the manicured talons instead of finger and toe nails, guess body wise we’re mostly similar.”
From the dark two hands came out and grasped him from behind “That we are.”
Chapter 19.
Tom spun so hard that he nearly fell over what appeared to be a raptor hide rug to see a completely naked Lilra standing in front of him.
“I’m sorry I startled you Tom.” Lilra softly whispered in his ear as she pulled him toward her “I am so curious how humans have sex.”
“Whoa,” Tom sputtered “uhhhh…I don’t, I mean, I…”
She resisted his gentle protests and pulled him within inches of her face and pressed herself against his body “Is it because I’m a different species?” she softly asked “Our ancestors studied your people’s bodies and found that we are close genetically…or is it my appearance?”
Tom was startled and wasn’t quite sure as what his objections were. He knew Gina had a serious crush on him, but twice in the past he had tried to kiss her and Gina practically tripped over herself leaving. It wasn’t as if Lilra wasn’t beautiful, because she was. He had been watching her breasts sway under that silky gown that she wore all evening…now they were pressed into his chest and the skin that he could see was sparkling with softly glowing lights of various colors.
Lilra broke Tom’s train of thoughts as she grasped his crotch softly, yet firmly enough where he was having trouble thinking as her tongue slipped out of her mouth and…
“Holy shit!” he sputtered “Your tongue!”
Lilra chuckled softly “We speak using our tongues in the locked position or we couldn’t speak your language, however I think that you’ll find…” her tongue slid out to full length of about seven inches as she gently licked his ear…and he was still facing her!
“…that we have a chemical in our saliva that…well it should be ok for humans…it, ummm, enhances…”
Tom looked at her as he held her at arm’s length “You’re…you’re glowing…all over!” Lilra was indeed glowing multi-colors that seemed to flash along under her skin and as she moved closer Tom couldn’t take his eyes off her breasts and the rest of her hairless body as the flashes became reddish and she looked like she had thousands of tiny flashing lights under her skin. He felt strangely aroused.
“Wow…my head is spinning and you’re…”
She slipped her tongue back to normal length once again and smiled “Show me how human’s kiss.” Her body was warmer than a human’s as she tilted her head and a warm wonderful scent filled Tom’s nostrils as she slid her cheek along his until their lips met, and he found himself parting his lips to meet her tongue. Even as passion overtook them Lilra never choked him by probing his mouth too deeply.
Soon Tom discovered that she did indeed have something that was not just arousing, but every inch of his skin was tingling every time, every place that she touched him...and lingered afterward.
Before he knew it this beautifully glowing creature was undressing him…and he was enjoying it! Lilra slowly removed his shorts and as his head swam with passion, he saw her tongue fully extend as her head lowered to his chest…and lower, suddenly he realized that one of her hands was caressing his chest, the other had reached up and grasped his hand…yet something had wrapped around his… “OH MY GOD!” he nearly shouted loud enough to be heard through the heavy wooden door to his room. With her tongue she pulled him into her and Tom was hopelessly lost. He wasn’t sure how long it was before she appeared before his face and smiled slyly.
“Can a human female do that.” she giggled in a throaty laugh “now let’s see how humans are at…”
Tom nervously grinned “Lilra, humans are not built like Murg and…”
Lilra raised herself slightly and smiled “Silly N’rog can adjust and…” A strange look came over the reptilian beauty, her eyes fluttered and her body now glowed all the colors of the rainbow as she slid into a sitting position.
“I…I…don’t understand, even Murg does not…” her eyes closed as her mouth parted slightly and a soft moan came out.
Tom was barely aware as he too had been affected by the fact that she was not moving, yet she was…undulating internally and he thought he’d lose his mind, or at least what wasn’t already in some sort of stupor. The feeling was unlike anything he had ever felt. Her body was so warm that she was almost hot to his touch, and her undulations were as if she was pulling him deeper inside but she had all of him as it was, and he began to move his hips rhythmically to her undulations. It became more than he could stand as he gripped her slender hips and began moving her back and forth; she caught on quickly.
“Ohhhh, I forgot this part.” she moaned as she picked up the pace “As many times as we watched the recordings and…” her body tensed and the glowing became a solid glow as she stiffened and shook as if she had been shocked senseless. Frozen rigidly on top of Tom, Lilra never stopped undulating and increased the pace until she nearly passed out. A soft scream escaped her lips, a convulsion of pure pleasure wracked her body, and she fell off to one side and nearly off the oddly shaped oblong bed.
Still dazed, Tom managed to reached out and grasp her hand as he pulled her over toward him. Lilra smiled and she laid her head on his chest. The glowing had stopped and once again her grayish opalescent skin was calm as her breathing slowed, except where she touched his body. Tom’s breathing did not slow, nor his heart.
“Holy crap Lilra…that was…fantastic!” She peeked upward and through her tousled long downy white feathers that fell upon his chest haphazardly and smiled.
“You humans must also have something that affects us. Look at where I touch your skin.” she gave him a wide smile and gently kissed his chest “More scientific studies are apparently in order.”
Tom chuckled and began to nod, when a strange thought hit him and the smiled vanished.
“Uhhh…Lilra?”
“Yes my…lover? Is that correct?”
“Yeah lover, and speaking about lovers, I thought that you and Murg were…” he looked puzzled. They had mentioned that they were together, he thought.
Lilra smiled as she brushed her long white down back away from her eyes and looked at her human lover.
“We are mates. Like your husband and wife practices in the old data bases about customs.”
“Yeah, about that…God I feel horrible, I like Murg and now I’ve been humping his mate…I didn’t think it was…”
She laid a finger on his lips and strangely her well-groomed talon seemed to have a softer coating on it and it was soft. She chuckled “Oh…ohhh, I understand now. No, no, do not feel bad. Murg and I…all our people are not completely monogamous, there are times when we agree to have sex with others for breeding purposes. Of course our genetics would not allow us to breed with your race, so this was sort of a scientific experiment…” she sighed softly “that turned out to be rather more pleasurable than with my mate.” Her head shot straight up in the air “OH DOGRISS, do not tell him I said that!”
“Dogriss?”
“Dogriss is what some of our people worship…like your God, but we were made in his image. He is the creator of everything.” Lilra gently kissed Tom’s chest and pursed her lips “Please?”
“You secret is safe with me.” Tom chuckled and caressed Lilra’s soft downy-like hair until he sat up abruptly and looked at his new lover.
“Oh shit…Gina!”
“She is safe, my mate would not force himself on her, he was just going to talk to her, he is rather large and we know humans cannot expand…I don’t think.”
“You don’t know Gina. She used to be quite a guy chaser, until one day she decided that she had a crush on me, but always ran when I tried to kiss her. But if Murg went to talk to her and the way she was looki
ng at his…uhhh…”
“I noticed her curiosity.”
“Well then if it’s ok with him, I’d bet that she’s…”
“Oh Dogriss! Then he’ll know what it was like when we…” she buried her face into Tom’s chest “what’s the term?”
“Fucked?”
“Yes,” she sighed softly “passion is not something to be shared in our society, outwardly that is…how will we ever release our findings?”
Tom chuckled “The way we affect each other, maybe it is better if no one knows.” Lilra nodded and wondered if this human female had indeed done as she had with Murg, and if she had, did it affect him as it had her?
“I have several hours before I have to report in…” she gently kissed Tom’s nipple “perhaps we could…”
Lilra squealed as Tom rolled her over and grasped both her breasts “You kissed mine, let me return the favor.” He bent his neck and enclosed one of her dark gray nipples in his lips. He stopped and raised his head as Lilra once again giggled in a husky sexy voice.
“I should have warned you, after sex N’rog females produce milk. The milk is good for stamina, and enriched with nutrients. When we give birth, we must mate once a day to produce milk for our offspring, on the rare occasion that two offspring are produced, we must mate twice a day to produce enough milk for the babies.” She wrapped one leg around Tom’s waist and chuckled “This creates two problems, one; it is hard on the males and of course rather pleasurable for the females…that is why we have sex with others. You see we always produce what you call milk after sex, when there are no offspring, the milk must be released one way or another.”
“Others?” Tom’s passion was beginning to diminish as Lilra’s words forced their way into his mind “Others? You said others?”
“Sex and milking, we have males that come to our residences and have sex with females that have given birth, to spare the male. Of course having an offspring also creates a problem for females as our breasts become engorged with this milky fluid that is neither milk, nor…it’s hard to explain.”
