Justin could see what Eteriion meant. On the outside, it looked like a stiff breeze would knock it down. The paint was peeling from the walls, and the door stood open, but as they entered, he saw the issue was only cosmetic. Inside, it was larger than he expected. There was a fireplace with logs to one side, a bench where you could place a sleeping bag, and plenty of candles on a small table by the window. “This is actually nice.”
“It is. I’ve spent many nights in this one and a few of the others around here. It’ll be nice for us to have some lunch here.” He closed the door and took his bag off, then dropped it to the floor. “Justin.”
Justin knew exactly what Eteriion wanted. It was the same thing as him. Pushing his own bag off his shoulders, he let it drop to the floor, then approached Eteriion. Tilting his face up, he groaned when they kissed. Wet and demanding, Eteriion thrust his tongue into Justin’s mouth and Justin sucked on it, feeling Eteriion shudder as he moved them around and pushed Justin up against the door. Justin arched up, feeing the rigid length of Eteriion’s cock on his abdomen, reminding him of their height difference and making him harder than he thought possible.
Eteriion broke the kiss and spun Justin around. “I need you.”
“Yes,” Justin shuddered, and quickly undid his pants and pushed them and his underwear down, baring his ass. “I need you to fuck me.”
“I brought things.”
“Less talk and more fucking, Eteriion.” He heard Eteriion’s soft chuckle behind him, but he didn’t care. He needed to feel Eteriion’s dick stretch his ass, and he needed it at that second. “I don’t need much prep.” He heard Eteriion’s growl, then two wet fingers rubbed over his ass, then pushed inside. “Fuck,” he muttered.
Eteriion paused. “I thought you said…”
“Don’t stop,” Justin demanded. Eteriion quickly prepped him, then Justin heard the condom wrapper and a soft hiss from Eteriion. Then Eteriion was pushing inside. Justin tried to widen his legs, but his pants hindered him. It didn’t matter. Eteriion’s arms slid around his waist and lifted him up, and at the same time, he thrust up into Justin’s ass. Justin cried out, his hands scrambling on the door as Eteriion thrust into his ass. “More!” he shouted.
Eteriion moved him over to the table, pushing him onto it. Justin gripped the edge with his hands, pushing back as Eteriion slammed inside. God, he needed Eteriion to give him a hard, fast fuck, and he was. Eteriion growled his name, pounding into Justin’s ass. Justin whimpered when Eteriion hit his hot spot repeatedly, causing sparks to ignite throughout his body. His legs trembled, his body burning as his balls pulled up and he shouted Eteriion’s name as come erupted from his dick. Eteriion growled and pounded into him until a hoarse cry filled the air.
Justin lay panting on the table, then gasped when Eteriion slid free, then picked him up and carried him over to the bench. Eteriion sat and placed Justin on his lap sideways so Justin could lean the side of his head on Eteriion’s shoulder. “You sure know how to fuck,” he murmured.
“That’s because I’m with you. I struggle to keep myself away from you, but I want to show you the stream and lake.”
“Okay. We’ll clean up, eat, then go to the lake.”
“I might want you again.”
“By the lake?” Eteriion nodded. “I really don’t have a problem with that. In case you haven’t noticed, I want you as much as you want me. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this attracted to someone.” He felt Eteriion tense and lifted his head to look into Eteriion’s blue eyes. “What? Have I upset you?”
“No. I’m not used to this. It surprised me that you want me like this.”
“Have you seen you? You’re gorgeous.” Eteriion gave him a close-lipped smile, then carefully stood and placed Justin on the bench. Justin watched Eteriion dress and felt the need to do the same thing. Had his confession made Eteriion pull away? “Have I said something wrong?” Justin fastened his pants, then bit his lip. “I’m sorry. It must be me…” he trailed off and didn’t know where to look, then suddenly squeaked in surprise when Eteriion grabbed him and gave him a hard kiss. “What?”
“I want you all the time.” Eteriion slipped his tongue inside Justin’s mouth, and Justin melted against him. “All the time.”
“I thought I’d upset you.”
“No. I want you again now, but we should eat and go to the lake. You’ll like it there.”
Smiling, Justin stood on tiptoe and kissed Eteriion’s lips. “Let’s do that then, and I’ve never had sex by a lake.”
“Neither have I, so it will be something new for both of us.” Now that was a plan Justin knew he would enjoy.
Chapter Eight
The day had been perfect. Exactly how he’d wanted it to go before he went to sleep. A couple of days to rest, and in time, hopefully, Justin will have moved on. Yes, he may feel rejected, used even, but Eteriion needed the distance. They had no future, and he had to accept that.
Stripping, Eteriion inhaled, scenting Justin on his skin. He wanted to have that scent embedded in him, but he knew they would never form that deep a bond. They were different species, and Justin would have to accept Eteriion once he found out exactly what Eteriion was. He could already see Justin running if he caught so much as a glimpse of Eteriion’s tentacles.
“I should have stayed away and not given in to my loneliness.” Eteriion closed his eyes, breathing in Justin’s scent. “But at least I had these few days to enjoy being close to someone. To feel him against my body, to scent his arousal, to see the lust and want in his eyes.”
Closing his eyes, he inhaled again, taking Justin’s sweet scent deep inside so he could remember it for all the times when he would be alone. And there would be plenty of those in Eteriion’sfuture because, after five years of trying, he still couldn’t fix his ship. This planet, this place, was now his home, and he had to accept that.
The fact that Ged and the others were still trying to help him touched him deep inside. To have them accept him as he was and welcome him in did alleviate some of the loneliness he felt, but it didn’t eradicate it. Spending time with Justin, being intimate with him, but knowing it couldn’t last… “Maybe I should have stayed away then. I wouldn’t feel this way now.” No. He’d enjoyed his time with Justin. He’d laughed and felt emotions that had been buried for years with Justin, but it couldn’t last, so now he was facing the repercussions. “But I’d do it again because those hours spent with him were worth it.”
Sighing, he had a quick shower, then climbed into bed. The cool sheets felt nice against his skin, and he slid the palms of his hands over them, feeling their softness. Rolling onto his side, he lifted off the bed and punched his pillow a couple of times to get it into the shape he preferred, then settled back down. Closing his eyes, he breathed deeply, relaxing every muscle until he sank deep into the bed, then he began to shut down his body as he prepared for his couple of days’ sleep.
Hopefully, when he woke, he would be in a much better condition, both mentally and emotionally. He needed to be. He had many more years left to live on this planet. Many more years alone. And with that final thought, he drifted into sleep.
