I nodded. I’m thinking this is similar to when you visit another country. You need to go through immigration to register and have your passport stamped.
“But females are scarce on this planet and must be treated with utmost care. Even if they are a different race, it’s all the more important that they are protected. We know we can’t breed with them which is a pity. But there are others who like to keep them.”
“Like pets?”
Roqs snorted and crossed his arms across his chest. His arm muscles bulged. “What is it that you have against pets? Anyways, these women are more like the opposite really. They like to have sex with different males. As you know, our kind has a very active sex life. In fact I’m curious how you are able to withstand sex with Zirc?,” he asked subtly, one eyebrow raised as if he’s a human.
“I think the aliens who abducted me placed something inside me that made me - that made you know,” I gestured with my hand, but he just raised one of his eyebrows higher. “Made me more wanton.”
“Ah, you mean like a sex fiend.”
I blushed.
“Hmm, I can just imagine,” he purred. It sent tingling sensations along my arms.
“Those drugs usually wear off. Good. It’s good to know you had that. I heard about these space pirates who abduct males and females of different species and life forms. The universe is full of frucked up people. This means you have immunization and a higher dose of tolerance of sexually communicable disease. We don’t have to worry about Zirc or anyone getting any disease from you.”
I felt insulted for some reason.
“Why? So, you can also have sex with me?”
I squealed a little when he suddenly pounced on me. Me and my big mouth.
His face is so near. His catlike eyes are almost black. “Why? Do you want that?” he asked. Puffs of air coming from his mouth are warming up my body.
“N-no-“ Of course, I stammered.
“A pity then,” he smirked but I saw him lick his lips. I looked up and saw my reflection on his eyes. If he just moves a little forward, I’m pretty sure he will kiss me.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. I jumped a little but he just remained in that position.
There was a pattern on the knock this time. Three soft knocks and one loud bang.
Roqs sighed and slowly straightened up. “I need to get this.”
He went to the door and opened but not wide enough so I could see the other person on the other side. Just an old green boot.
“I have what you need. “ The nasally voice said on the other side.
“You need to cut back on those weeds Xarl,” Roqs chided as he took whatever it was. It looked like a piece of paper.
They went silent for a few seconds. Can they read other people’s minds or are they sending a coded message to each other?
Roqs faced me and closed the door. I heard the lock zipped back to place. He stepped forward.
“I’m afraid I need to leave again. I will have food sent to you within the day. I need to go hunting.”
“For food?” I asked dumbly.
Roqs laughed again. “Ah, you are a never-ending source of entertainment. How can Zirc leave you behind?”
There’s a bitter tone to his voice. Like he wants to look happy but then again, as he said, he wanted to be the mate of Zirc even though they have different bedmates.
One minute it’s like he wants me. But there are times like this when he resents me.
I can’t believe these Manasties are the living embodiment of an open marriage society! Or maybe I’m not yet given the full information about them.
Picking up another bag, this one much smaller. A shoulder bag but it’s positioned at the back so I can only see the strap at the front.
