My insomnia had become something chronic. It was easier to throw my body into that single, tight bed, totally exhausted.
Well, when you come from another planet, everything is different.
Their food there was ... What can I say? In Édrin, the food included a protein diet based on insects that we grew. My favorite dish had always been denatured grasshoppers as an appetizer. At least, until I reach N'Tirlay.
You can imagine that in city ships we didn't have cows or chickens.
Personally what I liked most was a pork chop steak. It went with everything, from a good cup of coffee or that black carbonated drink. I need to remember not to mix Coke with coffee! The Pleidian just stared at me in horror. Curse! I had lived for years like any slave in the Neutral Zone. There was not much choice to eat.
There was movement and lights in the laboratory.
A few days ago the doctor was complaining that some blood bags were disappearing and that worried me. I was even more concerned if someone at the base was a host among us. So, in addition to coffee, I also had other reasons that avoid made me sleepy. There was Angel. Oh, and of course the beautiful redhead. My apologies were without much creativity to avoid the doctor's daughter. What bothered me most, however, was Angel's coldness avoiding all my approach.
If the problem was the redhead, I could keep her distance if Angel was more willing to talk.
Only the last thing I could have imagined was the scene there.
I went into the laboratory and stopped dead. couldn't believe it and, could scream furiously like an old bear, or could advance on Spike. He managed to be a kid with those irritants.
What the hell was going on there? Even more when he hid serious things about which he should have been informed.
-You shouldn't be here! - I replied in a bad mood. - Do you want to explain what you do after the curfew outside the dorms?
My face showed a sour expression.
It was always for that unbearable teenager that Angel ran. And it was not jealous at all. But of course not! Two hundred years could bring a lot of experience. And it wasn't working with those natives. I was over two hundred years old and didn't know how to deal with a hellish teenager! It was absurd!
-She fell...
I heard Spike stutter, sniffing the lie. And finally I looked at Angel.
-Angel! - I called and stopped worried.- You want to tell me why you are not in the room?
She showed no reaction and after that slap ...
Well, I must admit that my ego was terribly shaken. In general, company was never a problem. My partners never complained. Except that Angel ... I fumbled and seemed to do everything, but everything was wrong. Girl hard to please.
She was not that demanding when she was little.
Only there was no one competing with her.
Damn, was she jealous of that redhead?
The idea was so absurd that I could laugh. It was just sex. Inevitably I looked for trouble wanting more. Just remembering Angel's moans in my arms made me go crazy.
-Hells! - I was also very good at assimilating new languages and expressions. - What's going on around here? Do you want to explain to me why you took Angel out of the security of the dormitories and so late? It's not safe! And if something ...
My complaints did not end there. I didn't even bother to hear banal explanations from the annoying boy. I ran to Angel with pins in the back of my head and faced Spike possessed.
Damn the devils!
I had been a host to K'Aldriants and, knew the needs of those creatures better than would like. And perhaps weaknesses. There was still no really effective weapon against them, but the lack of food deprived them of strength and skills.
I swore mentally and bravely ready to punch Spike.
-No one from the crew explained to you that she could have a crisis like that? Arrogant and unbearable kid. If something happens to her ...
-Wow, alien doctor. Spike looked at me offended. - I didn't decide to play doctor here!
Play doctor? I could very well show a certain Spike that he didn't like the comment at all. And I didn't even want to know about the boy's sexual preferences. All I cared about was her. My look was murderous as I lifted the girl in my arms in front of Spike. She was cold and unconscious. The face as pale as death.
-How come crisis? Spike asked in distress. - She never had that before. Do you know what she has? We don't have to worry about the viruses they bring if you ...
I could choke Spike, but Angel needed help.
- It's not a virus, kid. - I denied the ridiculous. - She's not one of you. It is an edriana. Need...
I swallowed insanity and went to where my room was, sputtering out the words.
I still didn't feel ready to tell the whole truth. Not yet!
Our ancestors had fled, but they carried the virus in their blood asymptomatically. The process had been slow. We suffered from a disorder in certain enzymes that were precursors to heme, an essential component of hemoglobin in the blood. It was a functional deficiency in the process of synthesis of heme, in the blood.
In a nutshell, some of those humans could call the invaders practically vampires with superpowers. For years, our scientists had looked for alternatives to avoid complications with the subject. I was thinking about what we would have become without the treatments. What would have happened if an Edrian did not have access to the drugs they injected into our bodies? Sexual maturity somehow seemed to activate the latent genes that we carried in childhood without explanation.
Angel was shaking uncontrollably when I laid her on the bed. I could feel her heart out of control in arrhythmia and tachycardia. She was going to have a seizure. It was a thing that I didn't want to watch after the confusion in that hospital and without medication.
-Damn it, you fool! - I huffed angrily. - You want to tell me just what? Why didn't you tell me? I will warn you that all my patience is on the line. Even more when you decide to risk yourself like that without any need, unhappy. I don't like to be deceived.
Where was the damn porphyrin inhibitor?
Ah, hell. In high concentrations they were toxic to a body.
Fuck!
She hadn't trusted me to say that! It's because?
Fear?
Rage?
Shame?
-No ... - Angel tried to move my hands away as soon as she seemed to return to consciousness.
I examined her eyes, noticing the blue tint in their white. I hardly cared about her weak protests and took the shirt she was wearing and ripped it up in fury. I finally saw the inhibitor and examined her skin at the level of her breasts where it was applied.
-Very good! Quiet! It takes effect fast! Anyway, there's nothing here that I haven't seen or tasted, girl! -warranty with relief.- It will relieve you.
Damn it!
They were beautiful breasts, the beaks seeming to beg for attention. My throat ran dry and I cleared my throat awkwardly. It was a temptation how she managed to put me in those situations. It was not the time to do what wanted. It was testing the limit of a saint!
Her body was slowly beginning to relax. That temperamental girl had touched me from the first moment. We were then just two children in the midst of destruction waiting for rescue. That was before they decided to take it away.
I looked at Angel there as if it were the first time.
Just as I had done like a clumsy fool when she had bathed in the bathtub without knowing I was watching her.
I wanted her in my bed.
Sex with a pleidian was not that good, although it was better than the virtual hologram. I imagined a female of my species with a dry throat. Remembering Angel touching herself on that miserable bath still made my blood run fast in my veins. I touched the weight of the body on the legs without relieving the discomfort. My dick showed that I did not agree that it was not the time.
She wasn't supposed to have reacted so furiously because of the redhead.
Damn it! It was just sex. I had fucked hard and liked it. Angel had totally ignored me. Two weeks.
I had watched Angel's short skirts from afar, admiring her legs with a hard member and her throbbing groin. And now she was half-naked in my bed, just wearing nothing and me again with my erection stuck in my pants.
-Angel ... - I called low and sighed.
I knew that the inhibitor would take effect quickly and she would sleep.
Very slowly, my fingers ran across the smooth, soft skin.
Did I say that women on my planet no longer had that part of anatomy? The sight of small breasts was a temptation. I still remembered in detail the sight of her naked body coming out of the bath without knowing that I was in that room. The hunch of her hips as she walked to get that hairdryer. I had already managed to imagine having that girl in every possible position and in several places. It wouldn't be long before they started to embarrass me in those erotic dreams.
I imagined the sensation of her sitting on my lap.
Riding my hard member or else that cheeky mouth delighting in ...
I slowly let go of the lingerie and they jumped pleasantly into my hands. It could make me burn in hell! It was burning with lust. I really wish that no one else had touched her.
The pink tone of the nipples ... I wanted to nibble, lick and suck those nipples that begged for attention. I wanted to taste her. It was a damn thing how she got that white lace set.
Was ... was she still a virgin?
I wanted my dick inside her. Slower still, light fingers pulled on the damn short skirt that hallucinated me. It was white, lacy underwear. It is provocative for someone excited and thirsty like me for that girl. And everything I had ever experienced with her only further fueled my lust.
The delicate piece outlined a body of perfect measurements. Her intimacy made me more and more excited when I let my fingers lightly touch the place hidden by the lacy fabric, capturing the heat. I stopped.
Damn it!
It wasn't going to be that way!
The girl belonged to me.
I wanted her to be very participative and moaning under my body. Feel her come with me stocking that tempting body. Hell! It could only be a plague that she had a crisis at that time! Just now? It felt like I had been cursed for my lust.
With my eyes fixed on her, my other hand took the hard member and I started the back and forth movements, the mind imagining to slide into that delight. The pressure builds and I surrendered like an unhappy teenager discovering sex, his fingers lightly brushing her intimacy through her thin panties.
It's not that I couldn't see a woman! Was her! I had waited a lot for that moment. I felt my cock stiffen even more, imagining myself buried in it and I came with relief.
Big!
"You could have had fun with the redhead. And what did you prefer? Since when did you go back to being a goddamn teenager masturbating like that?"
The water in the shower did little to relieve the heat that was scorching me.
I went back to bed and lay down wearing only my underwear. I hadn't even softened the limb. Angel was sound asleep when I settled down next to her, pulling the covers off. could feel the pressure , settling next to her, pressing on her buttocks. It was delicious in hell! I was going to have that girl completely.
I was going to resolve that impasse as soon as she woke up and, could very well convince the girl with kisses to soften her anger. And with caresses that would make her more reasonable to hear explanations.
The cat and mouse game was over.
Now that I had her on my bed in my arms, I knew wasn't going to let her go. I would demand all my rights as your companion.
I felt Angel curl up next to me, seeking warmth and moaned softly. Incredible as it was, I ended up sleeping tired.
And my dreams were ... well, they weren't pleasant.
N'Tirlay!
How many years ago had they rescued me? It felt like forever. Only in my dreams I would walk down the stone corridors again and see the commercial courtyard, after making sure that the atmosphere there was breathable for me.
There was enough movement and commotion there to get my attention despite the feeling of anguish that took over me when I saw places where would never have liked to go.
I looked at the center there and took a deep breath, recognizing a temporal probability generator in a huge piece of equipment.
It was not what we used to use before time travel was banned. He knew, however, that many violated the laws after Gargoyles managed to keep some of those pieces of energy in their possession.
You always had to be careful or you would end up jumping back and forth casually in time. Time travel meant traveling between parallel realities. It was the old story that a second on Planet Earth in no way meant a second anywhere in the Universe. Nobody would like to bear the consequences of a gravitational wave deforming time-space. Temporal loops.
It was an old cargo ship that I saw. And in there ...
Hell! I thought that the Urodela natives had almost all died after the invasion of the K'Aldriants. He was a fully mature male and was not alone.
What the hell was a Urodelan and a human doing here in N'Tirlay?
I woke up with a start, turning on the lights, breathing hard as I held Angel in my arms. The old landed freighter I had seen. There was a name engraved with big initials that no one would ever forget, it was part of our history.
It was Alvorada, and I sighed heavily without being able to rest anymore.
I still remembered the information we had in the Confederation's memory banks very precisely.
Alvorada, when reaching the Solar System quadrant, under orders from the Confederation, had rescued the last survivors of the Blue planet. Of the entire human population, only about three thousand had been rescued and brought under the protection of the United Federation of Planets guidelines.
So Édrin had started his story. Our ancestors climbed their first steps in outer space, making contact with alien species.
