Stacy stands beside me, watching with the same wonder as I do – and then she starts helping the Aurelians by grabbing more dirt and leaves and following their lead in covering the structure with them.
Tyler and Tod soon follow suite, too, and soon only Runner stands alone. He just glowers at the Aurelians, arms crossed and a stern look on his boyish face.
There’s nothing I can do, so I join the others – and together, we quickly cover the entire structure with a thick mound of leaves.
We all stand back proudly and view our handiwork. It’s astonishing – from even as close as just ten feet away, we’ll be completely camouflaged.
A harsh wind picks up, and now I’m glad we have shelter. The sky opens into a persistent drizzle as Hadone and Darok pull Forn into our temporary new home.
The structure is huge – especially considering how quickly the Aurelians built it – but it’s nevertheless going to be a tight squeeze to fit all of us inside it, given the huge size of the three warrior aliens.
But I don’t think any of us care – except Runner, perhaps; and I imagine even he’s glad to be protected as the elements grow harsher.
Darok motions for us to join them, and we all gather in the shelter.
“I’mnotsleeping in the same place as an Aurelian,” spits out Runner, standing in the rain. I roll my eyes – annoyed that my suspicions proved accurate.
“Runner, we’re all on the same side here.”
He looks at me with open contempt. “If you’re ontheirside, you’re atraitor,” he snarls scornfully. I have no idea what to do with him.
Darok shrugs, and without a word he and Hadone set about building a small, second structure right against the first. I guess the problem is avoided for now – but I still need to find a way to reach Runner. His irrational hatred of these Aurelians is proving to be a liability.
The four orphans all clamber into the smaller shelter, and I move to follow them.
That’s when Hadone gently grabs my arm.
A shiver runs down my spine. I turn to him, and his eyes instantly communicate what he wants from me.
Involuntarily, I find my body responding to his touch. I’m ashamed of myself. I’d always felt anger toward my two best friends, Jade and Anna, for escaping this planet and joining an Aurelian harem. Now, suddenly, I can see the appeal.
Perhaps I always could. I scoffed at the choice they’d made – to whore themselves for the safety of life on the Aurelian home world. Despite that, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t considered the option myself, and even imagined what it might be like to share myself with one of the aliens. I’d heard all the stories, and those were impressive enough - but in person, the Aurelians were so much more imposing.
Standing to the right of me, Darok eats me up with his eyes in exactly the same way as Hadone. I gulp, suddenly realizing that it wouldn’t be just one Aurelian I’m giving myself to if I surrendered to my desires.
Oh Gods. I can’t believe I’m even considering it! I can’t let an Aurelian take my virginity – not least of which because he’ll split me in half!
But, fuck – I suddenly realize I need itsobad…
I can barely think. The stress of the day has melted my mind, and every breath of air feels like it’s been borrowed. I should have died in Barl, along with the children that have become the only reason my life has any meaning any more.
Now, instead, I breathe in the cold, harsh air and it tastes like life itself.
I’ve been trained since a young age to hate Aurelians – and yet I’m here only because of their protection.
Now I’m questioning everything IthoughtI knew - feeling an intense guilt as my nipples harden and my bodytingleswith anticipation. The way these two aliens tower over me makes me feel so small and helpless.
Suddenly, Hadone pulls me roughly into his arms, far more violently than I was ever expecting. My body jolts as he presses his lips against mine, kissing me with passion, but without technique. His lips find mine and his tongue invades my mouth.
As we kiss, Hadone’s hand runs down the small of my back and squeezes the firm flesh of my ass. I feel his cock harden, rising to attention and pressing against the material of his loincloth.
I glance down.
Oh, shit!
It’s too fucking big! Anna and Jade weren’t exaggerating when they’d told me about their experiences in the harem.
Darok presses himself behind me. His body squeezes mine against his battle brother. I can do nothing as I’m sandwiched between these two, huge men.
