"Good morning, my love." "Morning." Peabody leaned forward to kiss him. "It's another wonderful day on Mars!" Peabody said. "They weren't wonderful before you came." Peabody smiled at him and said, "They should have been. After all, there were six wonderful people here. "Do I smell waffles?" "I do believe Lan said something about them." "Umm." Peabody got out of bed and put on shorts and a t-shirt. He looked at Lin who was still lying in bed. "Aren't you coming?" Lin smiled at him and got out of bed. He feels uncomfortable or unsure around me now, Peabody thought. That made him sad. "What is wrong, my love?" "I still love you, Lin." Lin sighed. "I know, my love. I still am unsure of when you want to be with Lan and me, and when you want just Lan." Well, I don't even know, so how would he? Peabody asked himself. Oh, why can't having six alien lovers be easier? He chuckled at his thought. "I have no idea either, Lin. I know I love you. Please have breakfast with me." "I would love to." They walked into the kitchen. Lin sat at the table and Peabody went to wrap his arms around Lan. "Good morning, beautiful." "Morning, handsome." Lan took Peabody's face in his hands, bent down, and kissed him thoroughly. Then Peabody bent and kissed Lan's erection. "Good morning, you gorgeous thing. I love you!" Then he kissed it and licked at the slit at the end a couple of times. Lin started laughing and then Lan joined in. "You got a 'morning', but your prick got a 'good morning, I love you'," Lin pointed out. "Anything that gets his lips on my prick is a good thing." "Then this should be better." Peabody knelt and took Lan in his mouth. He angled his head so his cock went down into his throat. "Oh, baby! I would love to continue this but the waffles will burn." Peabody pulled off and went and back to the table. Lin looked kind of sad, so Peabody asked, "How long before we eat?" "About five minutes." "Hey, where's Oscar?" "Mun took him to the park for his morning exercise." "Oh, that's great." "Lin, do you think I could have a little snack before breakfast?" He pushed his chair out and Peabody knelt between his legs. First he took and deep sniff of him. Then he took Lin's cock in his hands. He ran his fingers over it. He kissed it and then took it into his mouth and began sucking. "If you wanted eggs, I could have cooked some," Lan said. Lin laughed, but Peabody's mouth was full. Peabody heard the door and then Ban's voice. "My room is boring," he said. Peabody pulled off Lin and laughed. "This is sort of the party headquarters." He went back to sucking and Lin moaned and then barked as he came. Peabody swallowed and stood up. "That reminds me, Pon and Fon are almost done creating our quarters in the park." "Really?" Peabody asked. "Yes. When you enter the park, our rooms are to the left. They enlarged the park so that we don't take up any of the existing space." "That's exciting, Ban. Is everyone moving?" "Yes. Mun and Fon are going to help me move the things from my workshop to a new one next to our quarters." "I will help, too," Lin said. "Thank you." "Lan, I left a transmitter next to the shuttle. Will you drop it off on Earth's moon then next time you go there?" "Sure. Peabody and I are going today." "Lin, Peabody suggested putting an FTL transmitter on Earth's moon." "That's great! It will remove the communication lag." "If we bury it and don't leave tracks, it will be centuries or longer before they discover it, if they ever do." "Lan, I also left a device to connect to an Internet port in our building. It will transmit the signal to the moon which will send it on to us." "We will have Internet service?" "Yes." "I will actually have a use for my laptop!" Peabody said. Lin said, "Peabody, you really need a nicer one." "Well, I'll buy one. I might as well use a little of my money." Lan brought a plate of waffles and a plate of link sausages and put them on the table. "Do you want to tell John Drake what you want? Or do you want to pick it out?" Lan asked. "I just want a fast one with a solid state drive." "Comm. Get John Drake," Lan said. "We should all get one," Ban said. "Aren't your own computers more powerful?" "Yes, but it is much easier to buy computers than to modify ours to connect to the Internet. Lan went into the kitchen with the coffee pot and poured Peabody a cup. "Peabody, do you want a Windows or Mac system?" Ban asked him. "Windows." Peabody put some cream in his coffee and took a sip. Lan sat down and they ate." "John Drake, here." Ban said, "John, we need seven top of the line Windows notebooks with large solid state drives and seventeen inch displays. Seven ultralight notebooks with large solid state drives, and plenty of software. Business and entertainment. End comm." "Boy, you know your Earth computers. Ban." "Don't forget we have been here over fifty years, with constant contact with Earth. I keep up with technological developments on Earth, because it does impact what we offer for sale." "Lan, the waffles are fabulous." Lan smiled at him. "Peabody, one thing the house in the park does not have is artificial gravity. Do you want us to install it?" "Yes, if it isn't too big a project." "It will take most of a day to install it. Since you are going to Earth, today might be a good day for us to do it." "OK. I know I said thank you yesterday, but that seems inadequate for such a fabulous place." "Peabody my love, you have made us all feel alive again. You deserve a place where you can be completely contented." "I think it will be a good place for the kids, too," Peabody said. "Yes, it will. They will learn to appreciate the diversity of life. Plant and animal," Lin said. "I have to thank Mun for the simulated sunset," Peabody said. "He has a randomizer in its program so it isn't always the same," Ban said. "Wow." "He is working on a way to project images of clouds on the roof." "Oh, my!" Peabody laughed. "By the way, the comm system is up in the park now." "Good," Lan said. Peabody finished eating and he saw Ban watching him. He got up and said, "Ban, could I see you in your room for a few minutes." Ban smiled and said, "I am at your service." Peabody got up and walked out, followed by Ban. They entered Ban's room and they wrapped their arms around each other. "You said something about completely contented, Ban." "Yes, my love." "I need this to be completely contented." He took Ban's cock in his hand. Ban sighed. "It is yours, my love." Peabody got undressed and then knelt in front of Ban. He pressed his face into his crotch and smelled. "Do you like the way I smell?" "Yes, Ban." Peabody took Ban's cock in his mouth and began sucking. Ban held Peabody's head in his hands and thrust into his mouth. Peabody felt for Ban's balls and rubbed them when he found them. Ban began moaning and Peabody could taste sweetness leaking from his cock. He continued blowing him until Ban barked and Peabody felt his spurt of juice in his mouth. He sucked until he was soft. Ban reached under Peabody's arms and lifted him up. He kissed him again. After Peabody pulled away, Ban said, "I love you, Peabody. I would do anything for you." "I love you, too." "Lan told me you liked the idea of a fucking chair. Do you really want to use one?" "Yes. I still want to spend time alone with each of you, but I think it might be fun. How do you feel about it?" "Well, it will be good for you. You can expend less energy. We worry about you making yourself sick trying to make us happy. You are pregnant and eventually, you will have less mobility." "You don't think it is too impersonal?" "How can having sex with someone you love who loves you be impersonal?" "That's true. Yes, then. I would like to try it." "We will build you one. It isn't difficult." "OK." "May I have one more kiss before you go?" They kissed and then Peabody stroked his cheek. "Thank you for the car, Ban. I love it." "You are welcome, my love." Peabody headed back to his quarters. "That was quick," Lan said. "I missed you." He walked up to Lan and hugged him. "Oh, baby. I love you." Peabody smiled at him and held his cock. "Do you know I have never had sex between Earth and Mars?" "Are you serious?" "Yes. I hope it isn't one of those things I will never experience." "Do you know, I have a feeling it isn't." Peabody looked around. "Lin has gone to help in the park. Are you ready to go to Earth?" Peabody looked at the clock. It was 10:05. "Yes, all the stores on that planet should be open by now." "Amazing! You could tell that from here, millions of miles away?" "Yes. I have many amazing abilities. I can bear alien children!" "Who would want to?" "Hey!" They kissed again. "Let me brush my teeth. Then we can go. Oh! Is Oscar back?" "Do you want to take him to Earth?" "No, I guess not." "Good. I left him with Mun. He is in the park." "He'll have more fun there than dreary old Earth." Peabody used the bathroom and then brushed his teeth. After he got dressed, he and Lan headed for the shuttle. Next to the shuttle were two boxes. One had rounded corners and a thin wire that periodically extended out of it and vibrated. It was about a cubic foot in size. The other looked like a modem with something that looked like a microphone on one side. "I can tell which is the FTL device!" "No!" "Yes. I am a fairly good judge of alien hardware." He looked at Lan's erection. "And hard aliens." "I agree." They carried them onto the shuttle and took off. Peabody sat in front with Lan. He found out that Lan had to back the spaceship out of the corridor without a rear view mirror. "We have video. We don't need mirrors. "I'm still impressed." Once they were out, Lan turned them around and they took off. Lan brought up the moon on a display. He said something in their language and several circles appeared on the moon. "What are those?" "Good landing places next to good hiding places." "Oh." He said something else and one of the circles flashed. He touched it and then turned to Peabody. "Are you impressed?" "I am! I didn't know you could speak an alien language." "Yes. English." "And Spanish." "Si." "Have you picked a nice romantic spot to have sex?" "How about the moon? That way you can say you have had sex on almost every celestial body between Earth and Mars." "Almost? Oh. Mars has moons.' "Yes." "Can we have sex on those later?" "Si." "Gracias." "Let's go in the back." They walked back to one of the seats and sat. Peabody took one of Lan's hands in his and held it. "I love you, big daddy." "I love you." He pulled Peabody to him. Peabody laid his head on his chest and sighed. "Happy, my love?" "Yes. I'm completely contented whenever I'm with you. "Don't you need to pilot the shuttle?" "Not for this. I will take over when we are ready to land." "Oh. Do we have to worry about the orbiters Earth has around the moon." "We will be invisible." Lan stroked Peabody's hair. Then he licked behind his ear. He pushed one hand inside Peabody's pants. He found his erection and he held it. Peabody turned his face up and they kissed. Lan undid Peabody's pants and Peabody pushed them down. Then Lan kissed him while he stroked him. After a few minutes, Lan asked, "Would it be possible for us to spend some nights together without Lin?" Peabody thought about it. He knew it would hurt Lin some, but they had told him to take joy in being in love with Lan. "Yes. I would like that. Not very often though. I don't want to hurt Lin, but it will be great to sleep with just you." "Thank you, baby. It means a lot to me." "Who did Aracatal sleep with?" "Usually Ban. Ban was his favorite. Often he slept with more than one of us." Peabody could feel his relationship to Lin crumbling. Can that really be a good thing? he asked himself. On the other hand, he wanted to sleep with just Lan and that was what Lan wanted, too. He guessed this was all a consequence of picking a favorite. Something Lin himself insisted was normal. Then why did he feel so guilty? Would he always feel that way? "What are you thinking so hard about?" "Relationshps." "Are you have second feelings about ours?" "Oh, no! No, Lan. If anything, I love you more each day. I was serious about missing you while I was with Ban. I was just thinking about telling Lin he wouldn't be sleeping with us on the nights we will be alone." "I wish I could make it easy for you." "I guess it will get easier. I feel like I'm rejecting Lin. But I do love you more. The thing is, I love him very much." "Baby, you are doing amazingly well. If Lin is unhappy for a moment, he still knows you love him, and he knows he will be sleeping with you again soon. If someone had told me a month ago that we would find a host who made us all very happy, inspired us to transform our lives, and wanted to carry two children at a time, I would have laughed. Even one of those seemed impossible. Do you know how long it took us to build the base you saw when you arrived?" "No." "Thirty years." "Really?" "Yes. And you know how long it took to create your park?" "Not thirty years." "No. When we built the base worked for a few hours a day. We slept and argued the rest of the time." Peabody heard a weird noise. "We are approaching the moon." He got up and walked to the front. Peabody followed him. "Do you want to go onto the surface?" "Are you kidding? Yes!" "Why don't you put on a space suit?" "Where are they?" "Push a red square in the back. There are several of them." Peabody went looking. He found a red square and pressed it. There was an opening with a suit. He stepped forward into it, putting his arms in first as Pon had instructed him. Once his arms and legs were in it, the suit sealed behind him. The arms and legs of the suit shrunk to an exact fit. The gravity suddenly dropped, so he assumed they had landed. Lan walked back and stepped into a suit. He walked over to Peabody and checked a display on the front of his suit. Then he picked up the FTL device and opened the shuttle door. He walked down a ramp and Peabody followed him. Lan looked around and then pointed. He walked to where he had pointed and Peabody followed. Lin bent over and pushed his hand against the ground. Peabody saw the soil break up somewhat. Lan cleared an area about four inches and hit rock. He moved down a few feet and tried it again. The ground was rock there. He walked back in the direction they came and tried a different spot. It was rocky too. They needed a stick, Peabody thought. He doubted there were many on the moon. Lan tried a different spot and had more luck. He cleared an area about a foot deep. Then he placed the transmitter in the hole. He brushed the soil back over it until it was covered. He turned to Peabody and pointed at the shuttle. Peabody turned around and walked over to it. A year ago, he would have excited to be on the moon. But he lived on Mars now, and the moon was a boring place. As he was walking to the shuttle, he turned around and saw Lan looking for footprints. He walked up the ramp and into the shuttle. Lan joined him and closed the shuttle door. Peabody assumed it was filling with air, so he left his suit on. A light flashed and Lan got out of his suit. Peabody realized he didn't know how to get out of one. When Lan was out of his, he helped Peabody. There was a green triangle on the front that opened it. Once Peabody was out of his suit, he took off the rest of his clothes. "Hello, big daddy. Do you need a boy toy?" Lan laughed and said, "A boy toy?" "Yes. I'm easy and cheap." "That is my favorite combination." "It's most people's. It's how I got to be a millionaire." "That is an inspiring story." Peabody wrapped his arms around him. "I love you. Have I told you that today?" "It's always nice to hear." Lan slid his hand between Peabody's checks. Peabody smiled at him. He pushed a finger into his love. Peabody sighed. Lan bent over and kissed him again while he finger fucked him. "Why don't you sit down? Peabody asked him. He sat and Peabody climbed up and lowered himself. Peabody held Lan's cock and got it pointed at his hole. Then he impaled himself on it. Lan moaned as he entered him. "That is so good, my love." "Yes." Once Peabody was resting on Lan's thighs, he leaned forward and kissed him. Lan wrapped a hand around Peabody' cock and stroked him. Peabody pulled away from their kiss and began slowly moving on Lan's cock. There were still experiencing lunar gravity, so lifting himself was easy. He put his hands on Lan's shoulders and used them for leverage. "I love you, Peabody!" "I love you." Peabody kept moving, savoring the feel of Lan's big cock inside him. "I'm close!" Peabody stopped moving. He leaned forward and rubbed his cheek against Lan's. "Oh, baby. "Let me move you." Lan put his hands around Peabody's waist and lifted him up. Then he let him drop. He fell slowly in the low gravity. He repeated it over and over as they looked into each other's eyes. They kissed more and then Lan wanted to change positions. "Lie on your back with your legs apart." Lan pushed into him and lowered himself. "Now wrap your legs around my waist." He did. "Wrap your hands behind my head." Lan then stood up and bounced Peabody on his cock. "Wee!" "You like it?" "Every time we have sex on the moon, we should do this." "OK." They kept it up and Lan decided he had better not wear Peabody out. As he got close to his orgasm, he moaned. "Come inside me, Lan. Breed me." Lan bounced him one last time and he barked as he came inside his lover. Lan lowered Peabody to the seat. He turned him so his butt faced him. He knelt and began licking Peabody's hole. He lapped at it for a couple of minutes before moving to his lover's balls. He took Peabody's erection in one hand and stroked it as he went back to licking his hole. His baby began moaning. He pulled back and pressed two fingers from one hand inside Peabody. He wiggled them until he felt Peabody's prostate. He rubbed it gently while he ran his tongue over his cock. Peabody's moans grew louder. Lan began licking Peabody's nipples. Lan spent a while moving from one erogenous target to another. "I need to come, Lan. Please." Lan resumed finger fucking him. He stroked his cock and kept his tongue in motion on the head of Peabody's cock. "Lan!" Peabody shouted as he came. Lan held his open mouth above the head so his come would end up there. In the low gravity, it would shoot for several feet, at least. The spurts of Peabody's come hit the back of his throat After several, he swallowed. The spurts slowed and then stopped. Lan licked Peabody clean and then sat next to him. "Umm. Lan. That was very, very nice." "Definitely." He pulled Peabody up and kissed him. "Ready to go shopping?" "Sure." Lan went to the front of the shuttle and Peabody got dressed. He felt the gravity slowly increase. He walked to the front and sat while watching Lan. "Comm, Get Ban." "Ban, here." "Wow! It worked!" "Ban, we just dropped it off. It seems to be working." "That's great." "End comm." They landed in the hangar and the shuttle door opened. There were plants and supplies in one corner. Lan picked up the modem thing and headed for Abbott's office with Peabody following him. Lan walked into his office and said, "Hello, Abbott." Abbott looked up and saw Lan and Peabody. He smiled and said, "Hello, Lan. It's good to see you again, Peabody." "It's good to see you, too," he said. "Did you find a nursery and a pet shop?" "Yes. Here are the addresses. The limo driver already knows. John told me to tell you the computers you ordered should be here around 11:00." "Are you the one who helped find Oscar?" Peabody asked him. "Yes, I did." "Thank you so much! He is a really wonderful little guy." "I was wondering if the low gravity would bother him." "It doesn't seem to. Anyway, thank you." "You're welcome, Peabody." "Will you have someone hook this up to the building's Internet?" Lan handed Abbott the modem. "Certainly." "Peabody, you said you wanted male squirrels. How many?" Lan asked. "How about four." "Abbott, will you ask John to get us four male squirrels for the park?" "Sure. What kind?" Lan looked at Peabody. "It doesn't matter. Wait, if any hibernate, I don't think we want those." "Very well. I will tell him," Abbott said. "Good bye, Abbott." "Good bye, Peabody." Lan left and Peabody followed him. Abbott sighed. He wished Peabody was easier to hate. But he knew it was over with Lan. If only he could find another seven foot tall nice guy with a huge cock! The limo driver was waiting for them. Lan put on his disguise clothes while Peabody watched. He decided Lan could pass for human. They got in the limo and the driver asked, "Which one first." Peabody thought about it and said, "The nursery." Lan turned the air conditioning on high and Peabody leaned against him. "You must be hot in that. I mean a scarf!" "It's warm. I should have had you bring a coat." "You can keep me warm." Peabody snuggled against him. "Oh, I'm probably making you hotter. He sat back up. "That's all right. I would rather be hot." Peabody snuggled against him again. He fell asleep. "Peabody." He woke to Lan's voice. "I guess I fell asleep." "We're here, baby. The nursery." "OK. Are you going to stay in the car?" "It's better if I do." "OK." The driver opened the door and Peabody got out. They were in front of the nursery. He walked in and started shopping. An employee asked if he needed any help. "Yes, I am looking for flowering tropical plants for a greenhouse." "We have many. Please follow me." He followed the clerk who pointed out three. "I'll take one of each." "Oh, what is this?" "That is a plumeria." "I'll take it." "You are going to need a bigger cart." "No problem!" Peabody picked out several more things. He couldn't pick too many because they had to fit in the limo. "Anything else, sir?" "What tropical fruiting plants do you have?" He pointed some out, but none of the appealed to him. "I don't suppose you have avocado trees." "No." "Well, this is everything, I think." Peabody got checked out and then headed for the limo. An employee wanted to help, but Peabody didn't want them to see Lan, so the driver loaded the plants. Once they were loaded, he shut the door and they left. "Those are nice." "Yeah. I hope at least some do well." He leaned against Lan again, but didn't fall asleep. They kissed for a while and Lan slipped his hand inside Peabody's pants. He wrapped his hand around Peabody's erection. He pushed a button and asked, "How long until we get to the pet shop." "About five minutes," the driver said. "Not long enough, baby." "Your hand feels nice anyway." They stopped and Lan pulled his hand out. The driver opened the door. "This is a rough neighborhood, so keep a look out for suspicious people." "OK." Peabody walked up to the pet store. He noticed there were bars on the windows. A really rough neighborhood, he thought. He looked at dog toys and picked a few. He also found some rawhide treats that he picked up. He wanted ideas for what animals could live in the park. The birds were great, but something else would be nice, He walked over to the live animals and looked at ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, mice, and rabbits, all of which would breed too rapidly. He wandered over to reptiles. He saw some chameleons, but they ate live bugs. He saw a tank with tortoises. He decided to wait until he could do research on the Internet. After Peabody left, Lan closed his eyes. A man with a gun approached Peabody. "What do you want?" Peabody asked him. "Give me all your money, limo man." Peabody said, "I don't have any money. Do you accept credit cards?" "Don't give me that shit." "I can write you a check." "I'll give you to the count of ten to give me money. Peabody looked terrified. "One." "Two." "Three." "I have a rabbit. Will you accept it?" Peabody held out a rabbit to the gun man. "Four." "Five." "I have a rich, alien boyfriend who lives on Mars. He can give you money. He can answer immediately now, if I call him." "Six." "I have four dollars! I'll give it to you." "Seven." "Ten!" "Wait! You skipped..." The gunman fired. Then he fired again. And again. And again. Peabody's eyes widened and he collapsed to the ground. A pool of blood spread around him. The rabbit hopped off Peabody. No one else was in the store! "Help him, rabbit!" Lan screamed. Lan wanted to go to him, but he couldn't get out of the limo. Then the limo sped off. "Peabody! Peabody!" He looked out the window. He knew he would never see him again. "Lan. LAN!" Lan opened his eyes. "What? Peabody! You're alive!" Peabody looked at himself. "Either that or I can see ghosts." "I guess I dreamed about you." "Was it a good dream?" Peabody asked with a smile. "No. You were in it. It was a nightmare!" "Hey!" "I'm so happy you are alive!" "Me, too. I bought some toys and treats for Oscar." "No rabbit?" "No. Do you think I should get one?" "They are useless in an emergency." Peabody laughed for a while. "I never thought about that, but I bet you're right." Peabody got in and leaned against Lan. Lan pulled him very, very close. They drove back and when they were close, Lan pulled all his clothes except his pants off. When they got there, the computers, supplies, and plants they had ordered were already on the shuttle. Peabody and Lan carried the plants Peabody had purchased onto it. Lan opened the roof of the hangar and took off. Lan kept looking at Peabody. "Is something wrong?" Peabody asked him. "It is the dream. I...I lost you. I don't think I would survive if I ever do lose you." "Let's think about happier things. I love you, big daddy. I want candy." "Later, baby." Peabody got up and stood next to Lan. He took his hand and held it. "Baby, I wish I could fuck you." "Me, too." "It makes me wish I was human. We could have more sex." "Twice a day isn't bad, my love." "Do you ever wish I was human?" "No. I have never even thought of it. I love you the way you are. I think you are perfect. I don't think I would love you as much if you were different." Lan looked into Peabody's face. "Tonight, I want to sleep in the house in the park with just you, Lan. Lin can sleep with us tomorrow night." "Oh, baby. I love you." Lin received a call from the lawyers while he was moving his things to the park. "Lin, this is Robert Westcox. There was a woman, Jennifer Drury, who had the blood chemistry you need. She refused when you made your proposal. Evidently, her family is having money troubles and she has changed her mind." Lin didn't know what to think, but he needed to talk to his brothers first, and then Peabody. "I will tell the brothers and get back with you. Don't commit to anything, yet." "I understand. End comm." "Comm. Get all." "Ban, here. "Fon, here." "Mun, here." "Pon, here." "We need to talk. Meet me in the house in the park. End comm." They gathered there and when everyone had arrived, Lin said, "One of the prospective hosts we found has changed her mind. Her family needs the money." "We have a host," Mun said. "We could have two hosts, Mun," Ban said. "How exactly would we do that?" Pon asked. "We could have a second family," Ban said. "That's fine. I want Peabody," Mun said. "I want him, too," Pon said. "I want Peabody," Fon said. "What is the name of Ban's new family?" Mun asked. "I haven't said I want to do it," Ban said. "Lin, what do you want to do?" "I want Peabody. But...we could have more children." "We could also have more unhappiness." "True." "I suppose we need to decide what we are willing to do to expand our colony," Ban said. "What if she and Peabody don't get along?" "Peabody is moving to the park. She could move into his old quarters," Ban said. "I have an idea," Mun said. "Have Pon go to Earth to meet her. Pon, show her your candy bar and tell her you want to fuck her in the ass. She will change her mind and we can all go back to being happy." Fon and Pon laughed. "This is important, Mun," Lin said. "The idea of exchanging Peabody, who loves me for someone who is doing it for money makes me sick. I wonder if this has anything to do with you losing your position as favorite," Fon said to Lin. "That is not true! I already said I would choose Peabody." "Why don't we clone Peabody, if he is willing? Two Peabodys would be twice as wonderful," Mun said. "I agree," Fon said. "Yes," Pon said. "Ban, what are your thoughts?" Lin asked. "I think I probably feel the same as each of you. I want the rest of you to take the woman and I will keep Peabody all to myself." "Lin, are you willing to take the woman as host?" "No." "That's it then. Give her some cash for being willing and tell her the position is filled," Pon said. "We haven't asked Lan or Peabody," Lin said. "We know what Lan will say." "What about Peabody? He might like the idea. It affects him a great deal." "Don't tell him. It only affects him if we bring her here, Lin." "Mun, he is part of our family. Do you really think we should keep this from him?" "If he decides it will be better for us to have twice as many children, we will be back to deciding which ones take the woman. Will we fight over him? I will not give him up easily." "I think we are deciding what is best for us personally and not what is best for the colony," Ban said. "Ban, are you still trying to get the rest of us to take the woman?" Ban laughed and said, "Yes, please take her. Mun is right. It would upset Peabody. He might think he has to give us up for the good of the colony. Then we would probably fight each other to keep Peabody. We would end up as two families with a grudge. Does anyone recall why we are here in the first place?" "Aradin." "Exactly. We have a very happy home. Let's keep it that way," Ban said. Lin sighed and said, "As far as a clone, right now, there is no way to clone Peabody. We would need to have a place to gestate the clone. Peabody could not gestate a human. He has no uterus," Lin said. "We could hire a human to do that. They do things like that, don't they?" Fon asked Lin. "Surrogate mothers is what they call them," Lin said. "But we need to find out if Peabody can carry the young to term. "Also, if we clone Peabody, do we create a human child with all Peabody's medical problems? Give him only one faulty kidney and his other conditions?" Lin asked. "That is a very good question," Ban said. "It does seem to be ethically questionable since we could correct those things." "But if we correct them, he can't carry our offspring. I personally have no wish to deliberately create a sick child, and that is what an unmodified clone would be." They thought about that for a while. Lin looked around and could see they agreed. "Lin, didn't you say once that Peabody would be able to gestate a clone of Aracatal?" Fon asked. "Yes. Our children with Peabody will need their own host. I am fairly certain he would be unwilling to be host for his own children, at least not sexually." "We will have two hosts, and then Aracatal's clone can produce more hosts. Our colony will grow. I say we reject the woman," Mun said. "I agree," Ban said. They colony might take a little longer to start growing, but it will still grow." "Agree." "Agree." "How much should we pay her? Fifty thousand?" Lin asked. "I'm glad to get rid of her. She needs the money. Let's give her seventy five," Fon said. "That is fine with me," Lin said. "Agree." "Agree." "Comm. Get Robert Westcox." "Robert Westcox, here." "Robert, tell her the position has been filled. Give her seventy five thousand dollars and thank her." "I think she will be very happy, Lin. I will tell her." "End comm." "I think we are ready to test the artificial gravity, Pon." "How is the fucking chair coming?" Fon asked Mun. "It's ready. I wonder who will get to use it first." "You built it. You should." "I'm glad Peabody liked the idea. We get more sex and he doesn't get sick giving it to us." Mun shook his head and said, "I love him so." "Me, too." Lan guided the shuttle to the first airlock. This was Peabody's first time to observe it. Once it was open, he moved the shuttle slowly into the corridor. They were facing another airlock. The airlock behind them closed and a minute later, the one in front opened. He moved the shuttle more rapidly here. Rapidly enough to make Peabody cringe. They came to a stop and Peabody said, "Honey! We're home!" The shuttle door opened and they stepped off. Lan got a lifter and they loaded their purchases on it. This was the first time Peabody saw a lifter. It was a large metal plate about ten feet by four feet. There was a metal pole at one end with a control panel on it. Peabody looked underneath and it was solid metal with nothing touching the ground. It was floating about a foot above the ground. Lan got on it and said. "Come on, baby." Peabody smiled and stepped on to it. He stood next to Lan. "Do you want something to hold onto?" "Can I use you?" Peabody looked up at him and smiled. "I think that might be best. For me anyway," Peabody laughed. Lan pressed an arrow pointing forward. They started moving. Peabody saw a number of arrows pointing in different directions. They were arranged somewhat like the numbers on a clock. "What controls the speed?" "It is automatic based on what the floater sees in the direction you are heading. If we turned it towards a wall, it would slow and then stop when it reached it. We have set a top speed in this corridor, so it won't exceed it, even though there is nothing in front us." "Except that door," he said as they approached one. "Ignore that door on the floor." Peabody chuckled. The door opened automatically when they were close to it. They entered a tunnel Peabody had never seen. "Will this tunnel take us to the park?" "No. It's a connecting tunnel to the tunnel that leads to the park." Lan put his arm around his love and Peabody leaned his head against him. One of the things he loved most about Peabody, was he was completely open and honest about his feelings. He knew for certain that Peabody loved him. He never used his emotions or those of his family to get something. Aracatal was an expert at that. He would imply that if you did something he wanted, you would be his favorite. He would do the same thing with one of his brothers at the same time. Sometimes they would talk and realize what Aracatal was doing. They would shrug it off and assume Ban would continue to be his favorite. Before he met Peabody, that was how he thought people behaved. Peabody watched them approach another door. It opened and they entered the tunnel to the park. His park! He looked up at the ceiling of the tunnel. There was a continuous tube of light that ran along one side. It was uniformly bright, but it didn't hurt his eyes to look at it. They reached the end of the tunnel and the park. The lifter slowed and then stopped. Lan pushed a button on a panel (the only one, Peabody noticed) and the door opened. A bird flew out and into the tunnel. It flew around and then headed back into the park. Peabody was relieved. They really needed to do something about that. They took the plants off the lifter and put them just inside the door in the park. Then they closed the door. Peabody thought about finding someone to do something about the birds getting out, but then he remembered Ban saying putting artificial gravity in the house would take all day. He would wait a while to say anything, he decided. He smiled as he saw the park. It was just as beautiful as the day before. Mun walked up and said, "Hello, my love." Peabody watched his erection grow. Peabody walked up to him and hugged him. "Mun, thank you so much for all the work you put into this place. I love you." "I love you, too, Peabody. May I kiss you?" "Yes, please." Mun bent down and kissed his love. Peabody wrapped his arms around him. He pulled back and said, "I will take care of the pretty thing very soon." "The fucking chair is built and ready!" "Oh! Where is it?" "I put it next to the house, for now." "That's great." Oscar came running to see him and jumped-high. Peabody caught him. "You've learned a trick, Oscar!" Peabody petted him. "Would you like to see our new quarters?" "Here in the park?" "Yes." "Sure!" They walked over the grass to get there. "We are going to lay a stone path from the main walk. Lin suggested using yellow bricks." Peabody laughed. They walked to the entrance of the brothers' quarters. One thing Peabody noticed right away was there were no doors. Lin was in one of the rooms. "Hi, Lin!" Peabody put Oscar down and walked up to Lin and hugged him. "How was Earth?" "Fine. "I can't believe so much has been done here!" "Yes. I was amazed, too." "It would be fun to have dinner tonight at the house. Do you think the brothers would enjoy it?" "I would," Mun said. "That sounds nice," Lin said. "I think they all will," Lan said. "Maybe we can all fit around the outdoor table," Peabody said. "That reminds me, the gravity is installed now and we put the furniture in it." "Great!" Peabody thought Lin looked sad, so he hugged him again and told him he loved him. "I love you, too. Very much." Peabody took Lan's hand and they walked out the brother's quarters and headed for the house. Once they were away from everyone, Peabody said, "We need a hot tub or Jacuzzi for the house, don't you think?" "Absolutely. We can watch the sunsets in the tub." "Do you have specific places in mind for the plants you bought?" "I want the plumeria close to the house." "Let's go get it before someone plants it somewhere else." They walked back and Peabody pointed it out to Lan. He picked it up. "My big, strong, muscleman. I mean musclebeing." "That's me. Lifting this enormous thing. It's almost half as big as you are." "And here I was planning to reward you for your extreme effort!" "It's not the weight, it's the mass of it that is weakening me. See, I do need a reward!" "Yes, you do." Peabody picked up Oscar who was begging for attention. "Put the tree where you want it planted." Peabody pointed to a spot on the side of the house where it could be seen out of one of the windows. They walked into the house and the furniture was early American style. Peabody thought it was appropriate in a log cabin. There was a dining table with six chairs, a sofa, two comfortable looking chairs, a coffee table, and end tables He sat on the couch and looked around the room. Lan sat down next to him and Peabody took his hand. "It's not as big, but it is cozy," Peabody said. "It can be enlarged later, if you wish." "That's good to know." "How do you feel, baby?" "Tired, actually." "Why don't we take a nap?" "OK." They walked to the bedroom. Oscar was on the bed. "Well, don't you look comfortable?" Peabody said to Oscar. "Do you want him off?" "I'm thinking." Lan, Lin, Peabody, and Oscar was one little dog too many. He picked him up and put him on the floor. He and Lan laid down. Lan held him in his arms and Peabody fell asleep. It was too hot. Lan carefully pulled his arm out from under Peabody. He didn't wake up, so Lan figured he was very tired. He got out of bed and walked out of the house. "Comm. Get Pon." "Pon, here." "Pon, we need to be able to cool the cabin." "We forgot about that. There are already ducts in the house, so it won't be too big a job. I will get Ban to help." "Peabody is taking a nap right now. They usually last an hour." "We will work on the outside first." "Thanks." "Comm. Get John Drake." "John Drake, here." "John, I would like you to order us another Jacuzzi. We are going to place it outside the cabin. Get a bigger one." "OK, Lan. It shouldn't take long." "End comm." Lan went back into the house and walked into the bedroom. Oscar was on the bed again. "You win, Oscar." Lan pulled a chair from the living room into the bedroom and sat waiting for his love to wake. "Lan." Lan turned his head and saw it was Ban. He got up and walked to the living room. Ban was carrying a notebook computer. "Here is one of Peabody's new computers. It is set up and connected to the Internet." "That's amazing!" "It's slower than it would be on Earth." "That isn't surprising." "It is warm in here. I am about to help Pon get it cooler." "Oh, Peabody wanted anyone willing to come here for dinner. He wants to eat outside." "That will be very nice. I will mention it to Pon." Lin walked into the house. "I need to test Peabody's blood." "He's in the bedroom taking a nap." "Oh. I'll come back." "Do you want to wait?" "I suppose I might as well." "Lin, we have new computers from Earth with Internet access." "Really? That is wonderful news, especially if Peabody has any odd blood chemistry changes." Peabody woke up. Lan wasn't with him. He heard his voice in the living room. Oscar looked at him from a spot at the foot of the bed. Oh, well, Peabody thought. He guessed it wouldn't hurt. Peabody got out of bed and walked into the living room, followed by Oscar. "That was a short nap." "I feel better, anyway." "Peabody, I would like to check your blood." "Sure. Are you ready now?" "Yes." "Baby, why don't you take Oscar. Pon and Ban will be working on cooling the house." "OK. Come on, Oscar." He ran to him and jumped. Peabody caught him and laughed. They walked out of the park. "The car is at the other end," Peabody said. "You can sit in front of me on a motorcycle." Peabody got on first, holding Oscar. Then Lin got on behind him. He started the cycle and then wrapped one arm around Peabody. They took off. Peabody saw Oscar was having a wonderful time. Then he realized he was, too. "This is nice," Peabody said to Lin. "Yes. The bikes are fun. We used to ride lifters. They are boring by comparison." They arrived at the other end of the tunnel and got off the bikes. Peabody looked at Lin and saw he was erect. "You came in my mouth this morning!" he said to Lin. "I know, my love. I love you so much, Peabody." "I love you, too." Peabody was starting to wonder if picking a favorite was a good idea. He loved Lin very much. Then he had an idea. "Lin, would you like to spend some time with me alone each day?" "Of course, my love. That would be wonderful." "I miss you, Lin." "Oh, Peabody! I miss you! I think about you constantly." They walked to the clinic and Lin tested him there. "Everything looks great, my love. You calcium level is dropping slowly. Here are the offspring." He pointed on a wall and then enlarged them. They still looked like potatoes attached to his artery. "How big are they now?" "Still very small." "Would you like to go to my old quarters? We can be alone there." "Yes!" Peabody picked up Oscar and they walked to his room. Peabody got undressed and got in bed. Lin laid on top of him and they kissed. "Do you want to smell me, my love?" "Yes, Lin." Lin straddled him and pulled Peabody's face to his crotch. Peabody took in a deep breath. He loved his smell. He took several deep breaths. He moved his face to Lin's balls and began sucking them. Lin leaned back and stroked Peabody's cock. "That feels wonderful, my love." Lin pulled away and kissed Peabody again. Then he laid beside him and said, "I love you enough to make two eggs a day, too." "I know, Lin." "Let me make you feel good, my love." Lin began licking Peabody while he ran his hands over him. Then he pushed a finger into him. "I want that beautiful cock inside me." "Yes!" Lin continued licking him. He got over Peabody and turned around, placing his crotch over Peabody's head. Peabody buried his face in it while Lin pushed a second finger into him. Then he wrapped his other hand around Peabody's cock. Lin stroked his cock while he fucked him with his fingers and lapped at the head of his cock. Lin felt his love quiver under him. That made him smile. Peabody pulled Lin's cock back and swallowed it. Lin began fucking Peabody's face while he continued to stroke and lick him. Peabody shook and his seed shot out of his cock as Lin continued licking. Lin climbed off of him and lifted Peabody's legs. He pushed slowly into his love and began fucking. "Yes, Lin!" "Do you like my cock, my love?" "I love it, Lin. It feels wonderful inside me." "Yes, it does." Lin wanted to make this last hours, but he knew Lan would be here looking for Peabody soon. He would, if their positions were reversed. After about three minutes, Lan held perfectly still, and barked as he came inside his love. Lin laid next to his love and held him. A few seconds later, Lan appeared. Lin thought he had timed it well. Lan was hurt to find them in bed together, but it was certainly Peabody's right to have sex with any of the brothers. "How is Peabody's blood?" Lan asked. "Everything looks fine. Two offspring are still developing." "Good. "Peabody, we are thinking of building a bathhouse next to the cabin. The bathroom in the cabin is very small. We can put a large shower, a hot tub, a bidet, a body dryer, and anything else you want." Peabody laughed. He had given up bathhouses years ago. It looked like his life was making a full circle. "That's a great idea, Lan." "I am going back to the park. I will see you at dinner, if not before, my love," Lin said as he left them. Lan lay next to him. Peabody snuggled up to him and Lan wrapped an arm around him. "I love you, big daddy." "I love you, baby." Peabody stroked his cheek and Lan closed his eyes. "Lan, will you get up on your knees facing my feet?" He got up and Peabody spread Lan's cheeks apart. He pressed his face lightly into Lan's crack and sniffed. It smelled very good. Peabody licked Lan's hole lightly, making him groan. He tasted good, so Peabody began licking harder. "Oh, my love! No one has ever done that to me before!" Peabody kept lapping at it and Lan moaned. Peabody reached around for Lan's cock. It was still soft, but Peabody held it and rubbed it gently with his thumb. Peabody loved the way he tasted and he began trying to get his tongue inside him. Lan moaned continuously. Finally his tongue slipped inside him and Peabody felt Lan's cock stiffen in his hand. He had done that! Lan spun around and kissed him. He laid on top of him and Peabody wrapped his arms around him. Peabody sighed happily. He loved being under Lan. That huge cock of his pressed against his leg. Peabody smiled at Lan. "I love you so much, Lan. Words seem inadequate." "I know exactly how you feel. I feel the same. I told you once, before. You are everything to me, baby." "Do you want to fuck me?" "Baby, I always want that. Are we going to sleep alone tonight?" "Yes." "Let's save it for our first night in our new home." "That sounds wonderful."
