Location: Édrin Township
The year 2435 Zairon's Quadrant
Before the arrest of the accused in the act.
Even after so many months or had it been years? Angel felt like an ordinary teenager. As if it were exactly the first time.
Her laboured breathing was, however, the only indication that she was nervous. Édrin's customs ... She hesitated for a moment like any virgin before the bed. And looking forward to the first time. Was that what scared her? She dropped the tunic in a soft rustle at her feet, her body still more shaky and with desire.
She knew Zorack's expectation. It was everything he wanted most. A recognized union that would ensure all protection. Before their laws. Finally, it would be the wedding night as any royal heir should have. Klaus further away had only looked at her body and that was certainly embarrassing. She took a deep breath and with unexpected courage, she looked at Klaus.
A human ...
he was by no means like Zorack. It was the strong, masculine body of any man on Earth and there was hair. So different from Zorack. The courage almost evaporated. She loved Zorack. She also knew that feelings were reciprocated. Obsessive jealousy ...
Édrin's customs could perhaps assuage his fears.
The Edriano held out his hand towards her with a smile that could take your breath away. She let herself be lost in the golden eyes that heated her with passion and without waiting for the two men to hold her. His two men and companions by the oldest laws before the wedding bed. closed the eyes, feeling the mouth that was searching for hers tenderly without knowing who it was.
The hands started to leave a trail of caresses that made her shiver with pleasure. Her entire body vibrated in excited anticipation. It was her hands that caressed her most sensitive points. The mouth that tasted her breast with pleasure while being carefully carried to the bed.
Mercy. And I thought...
Her body no longer belonged to her.
The caresses were beginning to make her gasp. It was the lips that teased her nipples and the tongue that probed her with maddening intimacy. It was all at the same time.
still had the vague impression that it was Zorack who was delighted there when strong hands gripped her hips ensuring greater access. It didn't matter anymore.
She knew that needed to tell the truth. And she feared the truth. An heir conceived before the legal wedding ceremony...
The young woman shivered very aware of the moans of pleasure. Husbands ... There was something sensual and erotic about the way they seemed to connect in caresses at the same time at their most sensitive points.
-Zorack! - Her voice came shaky and breathless.
-Not yet, Caílin. - His answer was a velvety tone. - I have much to show, my queen. My sweet virgin ... Today you will know what our first time should have been like. So much to teach ...
Angel still believed that it was simply impossible. She knew it was Klaus's hands that touched her with anxiety and passion. His body was not as smooth as that of a young child.
It wasn't Zorack. And it didn't matter anymore.
Customs ... It was necessary to guarantee the continuity of their species. The laws were clear. A recognized stable union always involved two men and a woman. It was the guarantee that the genetic inheritance of the species would be safe and preserved.
-Zorack ..- her last appeal for a moment still revealed doubt. The two mouths stuck to her sensitive skin. She didn't know who was anymore ...
-You and Zorack are all that matter to me. - Klaus assured with satisfaction. They are my life.
And there, the union of Édrin's next royalty once again raised the monarchy of an old government to its people.

Earth Year 2025
Events that happened during the pandemic and invasion of the Blue planet.
Scarllet stared at Iraine in silence and with forced indifference, watching with irritation what was already expected by everyone.
Zorack was not going to walk away from that girl. She stopped, taking a deep breath and covered her hurt under a forced mask of tranquillity and continued walking to the cafeteria. He had never behaved like that after Klaus. Perhaps the decision to leave on that mission had been a mistake after all.
He had never hidden from her the interest he felt for the girl. Scarllet had still imagined in the first few months that her companion would put that aside. The Confederation offered a much broader environment than the restricted city-ship in Édrin. Zorack had always shown some intolerance towards certain customs of theirs, fascinated by the evolutionary history of that planet.
She stopped in front of the cafeteria with a sigh. That mission was not going to bring them together again. It was a waste of time. Appearances showed that. Zorack continued to avoid it. Damn girl!
entered the cafeteria, carrying the boring toolbox. She typed in the codes on the panel and moved forward resignedly. It was clear that there would still be no energy. After part of the ship had been isolated, several repairs kept everyone busy. Now, placing additional defence systems in the most important compartments of the Spartackus was unnerving and tiring.
The cafeteria remained in complete darkness while she looked for a flashlight. It was going to be more work than she had imagined.
-Your annoyance is not just because of the lighting system. The male voice gave Scarllet a shiver. "Do you still expect Zorack to decide to walk away from the girl?"
Scarllet waited impatiently for her eyes to get used to the gloom there until she could see the tall figure. All that was missing were Max's comments on the damn subject.
-And why not? - she countered unhappily. - The girl doesn't even look like one of us. Did she see her way? And how does she dress?
Max laughed with evident good humour approaching. Scarllet ignored his presence and left the tools on the counter. The cafeteria was not as spacious as the others on the nave. There were tables, benches, in addition to the huge machines that served an automatic cook, a refrigeration system to conserve food and what could vaguely resemble a sink.
She was careful to get away enough, refusing to admit the failure of her intentions. It was terribly bad luck to find just Max there. And it was no coincidence.
-And you certainly enjoyed it? she teased and stopped. Max shrugged, absently locking the door controls. It was the first opportunity he had to be alone with her after so many days. -And how long will you be waiting for Zorack to change his mind? - he pressed directly.
She looked at him possessively, refusing to think about it.
Without waiting, she noticed Max grabbing her by the shoulders, shaking her slightly.
-Come on, Scarllet! Grow up! Max sighed in exasperation. -Zorack is just a whim for you. Child's whim! You just decided that he would be your mate. But it doesn't work like that!
Her eyes flashed possessed. How dare he?
-You have no right ...
-I have all rights! - Max assured yielding the irritation. - Even more so when you behave like that. Did you stop to think that it had such esteem for Zorack, wouldn't accept my attentions? Or experience pleasure?
Scarllet stared at him wordlessly. Why did he have to remember that? It had been a mistake. Make Zorack jealous? Only she had encountered more problems than she would have imagined. Max was not Zorack at all. And he hadn't even grown up in Édrin.
"It's not even decent for you ..." she started to complain, looking up in defiance. Let him release her! Max's gaze could make her afraid, recognizing the desire-laden way. She continued to start feeling nervous:
-It was a mistake and I ...
Max shook her harder.
-Error?! - he repeated angrily. - I can then remember that you enjoyed every moment of what we did. You reacted in my arms like any normal woman and with pleasure, without the damn customs, you have adopted.
Scarllet looked away embarrassed. She hated to admit that she felt vulnerable on Max's side. The touch of his callused hands on her skin made her skin crawl. The problem was not to have violated Édrin's laws. Zorack also showed little tolerance for custom. It was clear that she had already been kissed. Only Zorack had never shown an interest in deepening their relationship. Mercy!
Physical contacts and exchanging body fluids were prohibited. Access to and contact with other peoples' cultures at the Academy complicated everything.
-I didn't do any of that! - She defended herself with horror. - You shouldn't talk about it!
Her relationship with Max was always fraught with conflict. She closed her eyes, refusing to think of the memories. It was the horror of horrors!
-Of course not! Max continued to tease her. - Sex? Pleasure? To hell the damn virtual holographic inductor. I didn't hear any complaints from you, quite the contrary. were an ardent woman claiming the natural right to feel ...
-Max! Scarllet stifled a scandalized groan. Max forgot all caution. He had Scarllet just as wished and did not intend to waste the chance to convince her of what he was talking about.
- You're not so sure what you want, are you? Max flashed a smug, sensual smile.
He found Scarllet vulnerable to being close to her. Without letting her protest, he covered her mouth with hers in a mixture of satisfaction and impatience. Despite the rational mind telling her that she should fight Max, Scarlet's body seemed to have totally disagreed. It wasn't like other times. He was there and marking territory threatened by Zorack's presence. She hated to admit that his caresses were capable of making her react very differently than she did to Zorack.
Everything was getting out of hand.
She responded by giving herself completely. Chills of pure pleasure ran through her with Max's hands, opening the overalls she wore, exposing her bare skin, unable to react. And she wanted, didn't she? In an instant, she was naked before Max's eyes, which she sighed with satisfaction.
-How I missed you! Max groaned softly, his hands roaming her body.
There was something terribly erotic about Max's sighs as he encouraged her to touch him. Scarlet acknowledged the final defeat without the strength to stop it. She was trapped by the stiff body lost in a sea of sensations. It was his warm breath, the intoxicating breath as she adjusted to him by nestling into her arms. It was her mouth that brought out the low moans of pleasure as he nibbled on her ear.
The whole image of Zorack disappeared from her mind. The wild pleasure that Max aroused ignited within her. Intoxicated, she watched Max get rid of his own clothes. His fingers made delicious caresses very different from Zorack's caresses and it was not quite right.
She didn't like him. Or did she like it? It was the teeth that nibbled ... she felt Max position himself between her legs, as he lifted her against him, leaning on her neck and letting her fully feel his pulsing virility almost in a trance.
-Max, please ... Now! she pleaded in agony. She desperately wanted it to be over soon. She wanted to get lost in the strokes that made her moan in disgust.
"Oh, no! Zorack ..." - her mind still tried to take control. However, Scarllet did not want him to delay. She needed to feel it with desperate urgency. And that was terribly wrong. The truth was just one. Physical contact made everything more pleasurable. Max had shown an unknown intoxicating emotion. Scarllet hated to admit that she hated virtual sex.
That all control of the Edrians was for the end of the universe. She savoured the possessive invasion with satisfaction that took all her breath away. She arched her body with pleasure at the lover's movements. The burning bodies merged, Scarllet failing to recognize the very inconsistent words she was letting out.
Max was satisfying her needs with greater pleasure than she would have liked, but even so, she girded him around the waist with intoxicated legs moaning. Intense pleasure was building inside her. And it was just attraction.
Physical attraction, it couldn't be anything else.
Could?
The needs of Max's pulsing flesh could go crazy. The affinity they enjoyed was incredible. Although she hated to admit it, Max knew how to please her in every detail. felt something delicate and precious in his hands that stroked her with growing despair. She surrendered to a wild wave of ecstasy, clinging to Max, totally confused by her feelings.
It was like fighting for a lifetime to be a doctor and discovering that after all, she got dizzy when she saw blood. What was wrong with her that she didn't feel that way about Zorack?
Later on, she would hate herself for the weakness of finding fair pleasure in Max's arms with self-loathing. She closed her eyes, sighing contentedly and forgetting Zorack, delighting in the lover's manly scent with a sincere moan. She was in worse trouble than she could have imagined.
She was beginning to enjoy making Max's wishes.
-Do you think we can get home yet? His strong arms tightened her more tightly. She could suddenly notice his more tense breathing.
-Of course, it is. And why not? We are safe here.
The defence shields ... Maybe they weren't enough. She sighed deeply, refusing to feel the fear that surrounded her. And she walked away admiring the intoxicated lover. It was a perfect body. His manhood made her feel shaky and mad.
If you're going to stand there admiring me with that cheeky face, it could be at least more provocative.
The looks meet. With an unexpected sensuality that she would never have imagined ... she even managed to hear Max's moans as his hands deepened in his hair.
-You're determined to kill me like that, Lieutenant! Max muttered breathlessly.
That mouth was her delusion of expectations. It was tremendously sensual as she saw Scarlet's pleasure in teasing him. He was sliding ... she gasped, holding her breath.
-I like that a lot, first- immediate. You definitely like it more.
