You can see a list of my stories at the Nifty Prolific Authors page by my name. Nineteen I took one of his hands and kissed it. "I love you so much, Digger." "I love you just as much." "No. I love you more." We both laughed. "Maybe it's a tie," Digger said. "Or close to a tie with me loving you a little more," I said. "Noooo. You're cute but wrong." "This is how it works," I explained. "We love each other very much." "I'll go along with that." "Well, I am also in love with your penis." Digger laughed. "So I add the love up," I finished. "There are so many things I love about you, Eric. Add those up!" I sighed. "I hope we never break up over which one of us loves the other more." We both laughed. "It might be a first!" Digger said. I nodded. "If we ever do break up over it, I want visitation rights with your cock." "OK. We'll sign a prenup." Digger kissed me. When we pulled apart, I moved down on the bed and took his erection into my mouth. I began sucking him. That time, I didn't fall asleep, but I was happy and contented. I had somehow met the perfect man for me. I knew I was lucky. I caressed Digger's balls while I sucked and earned a groan of pleasure. After he came, I moved up on the bed and we lay there smiling at each other. "While you slept, I spoke to Lucius." I ran my hand over his muscular shoulder and bicep. "Oh? What did he say?" "They are going to stay on Earth, at least for now." I nodded. "Are you going to sell The Wild Life to him?" "Yeah. He insisted on paying me almost as much as I paid him for Visions. I told him I didn't need the money, but he's proud." I nodded. I reached for his dick and began stroking it. "You seem to want more sex, now," he said to me. "There's nothing else to do and no distractions." He nodded. "Lie on your back, will you?" I asked him. He did, and I sat on his cock. I began fucking myself on it. "There won't be anything to do on Mars, either," I said to him. He grinned. "I'm looking forward to it!" he said. He held his hands palm out and I placed my hands on then. Our fingers clasped. I used them for leverage as I began bouncing on his cock. He leaned his head back and groaned. "I'm glad, too. I just hope I'm not bored out of my mind. At least there will be a lot of people. It will make the colony more interesting." "Keep in mind Alek will be there and a good day for Alek is sex, followed by sex, and then more sex." I laughed. "You'll get sick of being surrounded by stiff Beast cocks," Digger said. "You lie!" I said, laughing. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the sensations. The head of Digger's cock rubbed something on each stroke. I wondered if it was my prostate. Then I realized I didn't know if I even had a prostate. Beast anatomy was different from human. I learned about it in high school, but I spent a lot of that year wondering what was behind the prominent bulge in my Biology teacher's pants! What he was saying wasn't nearly as interesting to me. Getting fucked was far more pleasurable in my new body. And getting fucked by Digger was heaven. Digger leaned forward and took the head of my dick in his mouth. I shortened my movements on his shaft to keep from pulling out. I groaned and ejaculated, as his tongue caressed the head of my dick. Digger moaned around my cock and I assumed he was shooting inside me. He let go of my cock and grinned at me. I leaned down and we kissed. He wrapped his arms around me and his cock slipped out of me. When we pulled apart, he said, "I'm sure I love you more." I laughed. "I'm glad I didn't pick you for your brain!" I said. "You didn't?" "No. I like your eyebrows. When I saw you in Realissmo for the first time, I thought, 'Who is that man or woman with the stunning eyebrows?'" "Oh, did you? The eyebrows kept you from noticing I wasn't wearing a shirt?" "Is that how you tell?" I asked. He laughed. "Yes. Women wear shirts. Men never do." "I have two mothers, then," I said. Digger laughed. Then he wiggled his eyebrows for me. "Anyway, I was so glad when I guessed you were male," I said. He laughed. "Guessed? Hmm. Your recollection of our meeting is a little different from mine. I recall you were terrified." "I thought you might be a woman trying to pick me up!" He laughed. "Now I understand. Everything about you makes more sense now. You are still wondering whether I am a man or a woman with a heated, lifelike dildo." "No. Silly. I knew you were a man when we first kissed." "How?" "I don't French kiss women. Since I was French kissing you." He laughed and we kissed. I reached behind me and grabbed his dick. I held it in position and pushed back until he was back inside me. I pulled back from our kiss and began moving on him, again. He sighed and let his head fall back. I leaned down enough to kiss his neck. Then I sped up my motion. After a few minutes, I began to realize that my new body was more athletic than my old. I would have been tiring in my old body. I felt no tiredness of any kind. I grinned when Digger cried out. He grabbed my hips and pushed hard into me. I smiled at the expression on his face as he had his orgasm. When it was over, he rolled us over so he was on top. He stayed inside me and bent down to kiss me. I wrapped my arms around his neck. He began thrusting again. He stroked my dick as he fucked me. Digger sighed and touched his meme. A couple of seconds later, he touched mine. It was Alek. "Hey, buddy," Digger said. "Hey, Digger. Is Eric around?" I laughed. Digger grinned. "Sort of. He's under me." "Oh! So that's what people do on space stations!" Alek said. I laughed. "You got it!" I said. "It's what people do on Mars, too!" "We are on the shuttle. I mean Pan and Jock. We are making other stops. Your stepfather is coming up for the wedding and to talk to Dr. Rosenbloom about the colony. We were told a few minutes ago that the pilot was instructed to pick up some more people who need to speak to Dr. Rosenbloom about the colony." "Oh, OK." "I've decided to go. To Mars." "Pan told us. I'm so happy!" I told him. "Are you really?" he asked me. "Alek, I really like you. I miss you. We miss you. We talk about you all the time." He let out a breath. "I have something for you," he said to me. "Is it big and meaty?" A video appeared, sent by Alek. "Is it nasty?" I asked him. He laughed. I watched the video. It was Alek jacking off. It was a personalized porn flik. In the video, he told me how much he wished his cock was inside me. I groaned when I saw a tight closeup of Alek licking the head of his cock. A little spurt of precum coated Alek's tongue. I groaned again. I wanted to lick it. I heard Alek telling Digger about the video. Digger got down and began sucking me while I watched it. When I saw Alek's cum shoot out of his cock and spurt after spurt covered his own face, I groaned and came. My orgasm was just about over when Alek said in the flik that he wished I was there to lick his face clean. My orgasm intensified, or I had another. I wasn't sure which. It felt incredible, though." Digger said, "Whatever you sent him, he sure liked it. I think you gave him dual orgasms." "Good!" Alek said. "I loved it!" I said. "I do wish I'd been there." "Been where?" Digger asked. "He's talking about the flik I sent him," Alek said. "Oh." Alek sighed. "I want to live with you," he said. "On Mars. I don't want to live by myself on an empty planet." I wondered if his sigh meant he expected us to say no. I looked at Digger. He shrugged. He whispered, "It's OK with me, if you don't mind. If you do, say so." "I don't think I mind," I said to Digger. "That's fine with us, Alek." "Oh!" "Did you expect us to say no?" I asked him. "No. I expected you to give it a lot of thought." "Our minds work incredibly fast," Digger said, grinning at me. I laughed and I heard Alek chuckle. "Do you want to sleep with us?" I asked. "Yes." "Will it bother you if I begin sucking you in the middle of the night? Sometimes, I can't sleep," I said, grinning. Digger laughed. "That last part is a lie," he said. "Just try waking him up!" "Hey!" I said, laughing. "Alek, sleeping with us is fine, but I am going to be holding Eric most of the time while we sleep," Digger said. "And I want to have sex with Eric sometimes by myself." "I understand. And when you aren't around, Eric and I will fuck like bunnies, among other things." Digger and I laughed. "When I'm not sucking on that pretty dick of yours," I added. "And when Pan and Jock aren't fucking me." "Right!" "We've been having sex with Richard Jensen," Digger said. "I thought he was hetero!" Alek said. "He's bisexual, now." "Wow! He has to be ninety years old. What a change for a ninety year old!" "He doesn't look or act ninety," I said. "What does he look like, now?" Alek asked. "He looks like this when Eric is sucking him." Digger sent both of us a picture of me sucking Richard in our room. You could just see the back of my head. Richard looked hot in the photo. He sent him a second picture of just Richard. "That's a big cock, he has. What is he supposed to be?" "A Faun." "I wish that was me you were sucking, Eric. I haven't had sex for a while." "You'll be with us soon." "I hope. They just told us we are going to Santiago next. Another unscheduled stop. "Holy shit!" Alek said. "What is it?" I asked. "I just watched a video of you exposed to space! Damn, it's all over the news! All the news services running it. Eric LaRoche, back from the dead, the headline says. What did it feel like?" Marshall didn't waste much time getting the story out, but he had his scoop. Alek was silent for a minute. I figured he was watching the interview. "They just mentioned that you can get pregnant," Alek continued. Then he was silent again, for a while. "We need to go. I need to come," Digger said. He began thrusting into me, again. I laughed and so did Alek. "You think I don't? OK. I'll see you in about.shit! Thirteen hours, unless we have any more unscheduled stops." "OK. Bye." Digger disconnected. He sped up his thrusts and began to sweat. His cock made me come. I groaned and then laughed as my cum hit my face. I wondered if Alek would lick mine off me. Digger cried out as he came, but he kept fucking. I ran my hands over his arms and shoulders. He grinned at me. A few minutes later, he came again. We took a shower together and after that, I had my first BM. I looked at it. I was curious. It looked like a small black rock or a big pebble. I didn't need toilet paper or to wash, and I guessed I never would, again. "Do you think Alek is in love with me?" I asked Digger. "I don't know. I told you we used to live together. It wasn't romantic, we were just roommates, although we did suck each other. And we shared bottoms all the time. I don't know if he wants that again, or not. We didn't sleep together. We each had our own bed. I just don't know. I know he is lonely. It could be just that, but if he wants to sleep with us, I suspect it is more than that. If he is in love, it would be with you. I've known him too long. We'll ask when he gets here." I nodded. "I love Alek, but I don't know if I'm in love with him," I said. "I don't know if I want to fall in love with him." "Don't be afraid of it. You are going to be sleeping with him and having sex with him and maybe giving him kids. Why shouldn't you be in love with him?" "I don't know if I can be in love with two people. That's why." Digger nodded. "There are successful three-party marriages. A lot of people can do it. You are pretty amazing. I bet you are one of them." I laughed. "Me? Amazing?" He pulled out of me and lay on the bed next to me. He wrapped his arms around me. "You changed yourself for me, Eric, when we met. I was there. I watched. Do you disagree?" I thought about it. "I guess I have. No. I know I have." "You are amazingly flexible. Change doesn't seem to frighten you. Your mother and I were terrified you would be angry at us for giving you a new body. I've seen people get more upset over disappointing haircuts." I laughed. He looked serious. "If you love Alek, you should tell him. Moving to Mars to be near friends isn't nearly as tempting as moving there to live with a lover." I nodded. "I do love him, I just don't know if I am in love with him. I don't love him nearly as much as I love you." He grinned. "I won't complain about that!" He stroked the side of my head and I smiled at him. "If you start loving me less, I want you to tell me. We will decide together what to do about it. OK?" I sighed. "Have you forgotten? I love you more, not less," I said. He laughed. "No. I love you more." "Oh, Digger. You are so almost perfect, with those wonderful eyebrows and everything." He laughed. "But you are wrong wrong wrong. I love you more." "No, you don't. I love you much more." "Much? Hmm," I hmm'ed. "The same thing applies to Richard, Pan, and Jock," Digger said. "You're just full of much more love, aren't you?" "No! I mean if you find yourself loving them more and me less, I want you to tell me." "Oh. Are you acknowledging that right now I love you more?" "More than them, not more than me." I laughed. "OK. Enough of that! It is officially a tie!" Digger smiled. Our door buzzed. "Come in." It was Tom, the Sunvision cameraman. "Do you have a minute?" Tom asked. "Sure, come in." We all sat down. He looked uncomfortable. He started to say something, and then stopped. A minute later, he said, "I know you are good friends with Alek Bright. Um. I was wondering whether you would introduce me to him when he gets here." "You need an introduction from us?" Digger asked. "Alek isn't shy." Tom looked uncomfortable. Then his shoulders slumped. I frowned. I wasn't sure what was going on. "Is it about work? I mean, you are a cameraman." "No. I just..God, he's hot!" I chuckled. "A fan!" Tom nodded his head. "Are you shy? Is that it?" Digger asked him. "I have trouble speaking to strangers. It's why I'm behind the camera, not in front of it." Digger nodded. I guessed Tom felt more comfortable speaking to us, because we weren't quite strangers. "Tom, I can tell you now that Alek will be after you as soon as he sees you. You are just his type, and like I said, he isn't shy," Digger said to him. "He just got through telling us he was desperate for sex. Are you a bottom?" "Yeah." "Then you have nothing to worry about. One of the reasons Alek makes porn fliks is so he can have sex with his cute fans, and you qualify there. All you have to do is say hello. If you are too nervous to do that, just keep eye contact long enough for him to introduce himself to you. Or just stand next to him." Tom nodded. "I have to tell you, though, that if you are hoping for a long-term relationship with him, it isn't likely. He avoids those. Friends, he sometimes keeps. Lovers, he always tires of quickly. The more possessive the lover, the quicker he ends the relationship. But mostly he just has encounters. He usually loses interest after he has had sex with someone." "I'm not expecting marriage." "Good." "But you think I have a chance with him?" "I think there is an excellent chance you will get fucked, but that's all." Tom nodded. Just looking at him, I had the impression that just one fuck was not what Tom had in mind. I guessed he thought he could make Alek love him. I looked at Digger. He looked like he was about to say something to Tom, but he didn't. I wasn't happy to feel a little jealousy about Alek and Tom. I knew that was a bad idea. Alek deserved to have someone love him as much as I loved Digger. Digger was always going to be the most important person in my life. I wanted Alek to be number one in someone else's life. Tom stood. "Thanks so much. I appreciate the advice." "You are welcome." Tom left and Digger sat back down. "Do you think something permanent could develop between Alek and Tom?" I asked. "Not a chance. Tom has 'temporary spouse' written all over him. I've seen enough of them to be sure of that." Digger shook his head. "Tom is going to get his heart broken. I feel sorry about it, but I did warn him." "If I start to feel possessive about Alek, do you think he will not want to live with us?" "If you expect him to be monogamous, I think you are right. If he is free to have sex with whoever he wants, I think he won't mind a bit, unless he can see he is making you unhappy. He wants to be wanted, he just doesn't want to be controlled. I figured that one day he would settle down. Maybe he is ready for it, and he wants it to be with us. I really don't know. He said he doesn't want to live alone on an empty planet. I can understand that. But he also said he wants to sleep with us, and it didn't seem like he meant temporarily." Digger sighed. "I don't expect him to have sex only with us. After all, you and I will want to be alone. Pan and/or Jock may want to have sex me or with us, without Alek. If he is off having fun with someone else, I will feel better about him not being included." "Good. That's how I feel, too." I thought about Richard. "Do you want to visit Richard?" Digger asked me. I laughed. "I was just thinking of him," I said. "I figured that. I smelled lust." We dressed. "Let's surprise him," Digger suggested. Digger knew where his rooms were. He pressed a buzzer on the door. "Who is it?" we heard Richard ask. "Eric and Digger." The door opened and we saw Richard sitting at a desk. He turned and I saw he was naked and erect. "Oh, look at that!" I said. Richard grinned at me. "I got in the habit of jacking off while I work. I guess I don't need to do that anymore." "No. When you need to work, I will squat there under your desk and suck you." Digger and Richard laughed. "I work all day, Eric." "Oh. Well, I can only spend about three hours a day sucking you," I said, grinning. "I have a husband to take care of." "You are a lucky man, Digger," Richard said. "I know." Richard looked at me and began slowly stroking himself. He did have a nice cock, and he was very hot. I was starting to find his Faun legs very sexy. "Are there any gay Fauns in Aegina?" I asked him. "Why? Would you rather have sex with them than me?" He got up and walked over to me. He took me in his arms. "Or do you still think of me as hetero. I ate some of your semen, Eric. I thought that would show you how much I want you." I smiled at him. I felt Digger pull down my pants. I stepped out of them. Digger got behind me and pushed inside me as Richard and I kissed. It was a more passionate kiss than the one we'd shared earlier. He pulled away and whispered in my ear, "I was jacking off, thinking about you." "Were you?" "Yes. At first, I was thinking about my ex. Then I thought of you and I got harder." I wrapped my hand about his big prick. "I love being lusted after. I thought this body was hot and would attract people, but you are the first person who has responded to me the way I hoped. And I don't have time to change bodies." "I think you are very hot." I ran my hands over him. Digger pulled out of me. He turned me around and moved next to Richard. "Oh, fuck!" Richard said. I looked behind me-which was surprisingly easy to do, and I saw Digger's hand was wrapped around Richard's cock. Digger pointed it at my hole and pulled me back onto it. Richard began fucking me. Digger knelt in front of me and began sucking me. I came quickly. Digger continued sucking. He reached up and pulled on my nipples. My eyes rolled back. The pleasure was intense. My new nipples were more sensitive. That combined with Digger's sucking and Richard's fucking, made me shoot again. Richard groaned as he came. Digger pulled me off him and began fucking me. I kissed Richard again while I held his cock. I guessed he was learning to enjoy kissing a man, because that time he wrapped both arms around me and moaned as we kissed. I reached up and stroked his cheek with one hand. He pulled away from the kiss and smiled at me. Then he stopped smiling. "Is this going to end when Alek gets here?" he asked me. "No. But I may have less free time." "Do you think it will end when we go to Mars?" "Do you want me to be your permanent cocksucker?" I asked him, grinning. "I love fucking you, too." "I'm sure Eric will be willing," Digger said. Richard smiled. "Once we are on Mars, you might find a woman of your own," I said. "Or a man," Richard said. I nodded. "I've had a lifetime of bad relationships. I like this one. I hope it can be a friendship with lots of sex. Maybe it will last longer. I've always been better at keeping friends than lovers." Digger chuckled and I nodded. "Work always has interfered and friends don't tend to take it as personally as my lovers always have. I don't know how many times women have said, 'You love your work more than me.' I've come to expect it." He grinned. "You, on the other hand, are willing to service me while I work." "Until my knees get tired, anyway." We all laughed. "You need a part-time lover," Digger said. "Who is willing to work flexible hours," Richard said. "I had a customer like you at The Wild Life," Digger said. "He couldn't maintain relationships because of his work. He stopped by to get his cock sucked almost every day." Digger chuckled. "He told me that it was much more efficient than dating." Richard nodded his head. "He's probably like me. He loves sex, he just loves his work more. I told you that women have always said that I love my work more than them. I could never argue that. It was almost always true, although there were a couple of women I did love more than my work. But I wasn't willing to give up work to be with them. I happen to think my work is important. Not just to me, but to the human race. It will enable us to live on just about any planet and moon in the solar system." I nodded. I thought it was important, too. Richard yawned. "Sorry. It's not you. It's time for bed. I've been up." He paused. "Almost twenty-two hours." "What time is it?" I asked. Then I felt silly. I could have gotten the time from my meme. "About 8 PM, Alaska time. Not that it matters very much what time it is in Alaska up here in orbit," Richard said. "I sleep when I can't stay awake any longer." "Good night, Richard," Digger said. We left. "If the shuttle is making a lot of stops before it gets here, they may miss the wedding," I said, as we walked to our room. "Yeah. I thought of that. Well, they will understand. Planning for the Mars colony is a big deal. I think ours will be a permanent settlement." "It's too bad Dr. Rosenbloom's shuttle doesn't fly to the moon." "I asked Harry about that. I thought we could all travel together when the shuttle gets here. He said the shuttle doesn't have a fusion drive and it can't carry enough fuel to get there." I nodded. We got to our room. I fell asleep in Digger's arms. "Eric?" I opened my eyes. Digger was smiling at me. "Happy Wedding Day!" he said. "Damn! I forgot to buy you a happy wedding day card!" I said. He chuckled. "As long as you put out on our wedding night, you are forgiven." I laughed. "Oh, thank you!" "The ship leaves in an hour. Sunvision arranged for an Oceanus colony administrator to let us out an airlock at 1:00 PM, station time." I nodded and got out of bed. We took a shower. Digger and I were both hard. I wanted to have sex, but we weren't sure we had time. Digger must have sensed my thoughts. He wrapped a hand around both our cocks and stroked us to orgasm while we kissed. Mom buzzed us as we were getting dressed. I opened the door. She was dressed up. She looked really nice. I thought about pointing out that her outfit would be covered by a spacesuit. Then she shocked me by taking the can of nanites off the desk and pressing the end of the bottle to her arm. "You are going out without a suit?" I asked. Digger was grinning at me, so I assumed he knew. "Yes. I took a tranquilizer and I'll take another before the wedding, but I'll do it." "You don't have to, Mom." She sighed. "Jeff asked. I owe him, Eric." "Oh." Advertising. At first, I was mad, but then I understood. I was Beast 3.0. Digger was 2.0, but Mom was human. Dr. Rosenbloom was trying, once again, to show that his work applied to humans, too. I would have felt better about it if Harry hadn't said the day before that he couldn't recommend Mom going out on the moon without a suit. But the last thing Dr. Rosenbloom would want to show the world would be my mother dying during her son's wedding, and all due to his nanites. That meant he was sure she would be fine. I nodded. "Your skin might get damaged," I pointed out. "I know there is a risk of it, but the ceremony is only going to be three minutes long. Jeff was sure it would be safe. In any case, I'm going into the tank as soon as we return. If my skin gets frostbite, or whatever, I'll take a pain pill until I get into the tank. It looks now like that might be before Jib arrives here." "What happened?" "A lot of people need to talk to Jeff. I spoke to Jib a few minutes ago, and the shuttle was on its way to Buenos Aires. There are twenty-three people on it. It only seats ten." I laughed. "Oh, no!" The door buzzed, again. Harry walked in carrying two ping pong paddles. "We only have time for one game, Harry," I said, laughing. He held them up. Each of them had, "I do," written on one side. We all laughed. "So that's how we'll say, 'I do,' in a vacuum!" Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. I had assumed we would take our vows by meme, but I liked the paddles! Harry nodded, grinning. "It was my idea. If any viewers feel intimidated by the sight of you standing in vacuum, these will make them laugh." I nodded. "Do you mind?" he asked us. "I love the idea," I said. I looked at Digger. "I do, too," Digger added. "You won't be asked if anyone has a reason they shouldn't be married, so I didn't get a paddle for you," Harry said to Mom. We all laughed. "Also, we only have two paddles." We were all laughing as Harry led us to the ship. "Neither of you have that trapped look we sometimes see on grooms before the ceremony," Judith said. Her hair was orange. "Eric's father didn't have that look, either. He didn't believe in sex before marriage, so he had other things on his mind," Mother said. All of us laughed as we got seated on the ship. I was nervous and the laughing helped. Harry wasn't going, so we said goodbye to him. "Do you think your brother or Alek will be disappointed to miss the wedding?" my mother asked Digger. "I would guess they are more worried about Mars." She nodded. "We will be in zero G for a few minutes after we undock from the station," Jake, the captain said to us. He handed out pills. "These are nausea pills. Take one now if you've never been in zero-G or if you get sick in it." We all took one. "We are going to be accelerating halfway and decelerating the other half. It will feel like gravity keeping in your seat, except when we detach from Beasthold and at the halfway point when we turn around to decelerate. The seats will swivel around and face the opposite direction while we decelerate. If any of you need to use the restroom, I suggest you do it now. We won't be in zero G long, but while we are, you would have to use the zero G toilet, and that is not something you want to do if you can help it. The restroom is at the back of the ship." He looked around. "No one? Well, then buckle up and we'll get underway." He walked to the front of the shuttle as we put on our seat belts. I was seated next to the window and the station was only about a few meters away from me. A moment later, with a jolt, we separated from the station. I watched as we pulled away from it. The station started spinning faster and I assumed we were slowing, relative to it. Then we changed direction and I only saw stars. We were weightless, and it was fun, but my stomach did feel weird. I lifted my arm and it just hung there in the air. I lifted my other arm and then they were both floating. Mom was grinning at me. I felt a rumble and a slight push into my seat. My arms slowly lowered. I assumed the engines were firing. Digger took my hand. "Nervous?" he asked me. I nodded. "I just want it all to be over with. And by that I mostly mean being on the moon. I just don't feel that comfortable being that close to the people who tried to kill us. I felt very safe on the station, knowing those people were so far away." Digger squeezed my hand. Marshall was sitting in front of me. He spun his chair around to face me. "Eric, do you mind if we continue our interview on this subject?" "I suppose not." Tom, the cameraman turned to me and released a ball camera which floated in front of me. "You are getting married on the moon, Eric. How do you feel? People are normally nervous before a wedding, but you are getting married on the surface without a suit." "I'm not nervous about not wearing a suit, but I am nervous about the fact that on the moon we will be kilometers away from the men who tried to kill us. I feel safer on the space station." I stopped for a moment. "I guess I sound a little paranoid." "You've been through a lot. It isn't surprising," Marshall said. "So why are you getting married on the moon?" "For one thing, because we decided that we would get married there before the first Neo attack. Also, I want people to see the capabilities of my new body." Marshall nodded his head. "It's a shame we can't get married on Mars, but it might be a long time before we move there, and I need to marry Digger before he changes his mind." "Hey!" Digger said. I laughed. "Is there any chance of that, Digger?" Marshall asked him. "No. None at all." Marshall asked me a few more questions before he interviewed Digger and my mother. She announced that she was going to become a Beast, and Marshall got another scoop from our family. While that was going on, I thought about Alek, Pan, and Jock missing the wedding. I decided it wasn't a bad thing. Our wedding was about Digger and me, and if they were there, it would be about them, too, especially if Jock wanted to talk about babies or Alek wanted to talk about living with us. After the interviews were over, I leaned my head on Digger and fell asleep. I woke when my meme buzzed. "Hello?" "Hey, Eric, it's Jock. We've arrived at the station. We are getting off the shuttle now." "I'm glad. I'm sorry you are missing the wedding, though." "Well, it would have been nice to be there, but we will be able to watch it, along with everyone else." "Oh. Right. "Have you changed your mind, Eric?" "About Mars, bottoming for you, or having your baby?" "All three, but the last, especially." "No, Jock. I'm looking forward to all three." Jock sighed in relief. "I'm not likely to change my mind, Jock. For one thing, you'll be my brother-in-law. For another, Dr. Rosenbloom said there would be no pain when I'm giving birth." "Oh. That's good," Jock said. "I know how much you want a child. I'm glad I can give you one. To be honest, my only concern is that I not come between you and Pan. Digger told me not to worry about it, but I can't help it." "Digger is right, Eric. Pan and I have been discussing the living arrangements. We want to talk to you and Digger about them, but we are hoping it will be one big family, and all of us will love each other. If you are the mother of my children, you will be the second most important person in my life. Pan feels the same way. I'm not going to be able to help falling in love with you. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I want our child together to be conceived in an act of love, not a casual fuck, so I think I would prefer to be in love with you. How do you feel about that?" "It sounds very nice, Jock. Just as long as Pan is OK with it." "That's a relief. We thought we might end up with two stable triangles. You, Pan and myself, and then you, Digger, and Alek. Or maybe even one big hexagon." I laughed, nervously. "I hope it works. I've never been in one triangle, much less two. That reminds me. Has Alek mentioned whether he wants kids?" "He isn't sure. He's thinking about it." I nodded. "Does Pan want one as badly as you do?" "No. He wants one, but he doesn't mind waiting. I want his child almost as much as I want one of my own. I want to have a little Pan around to love." "Good." I smiled. I was relieved. "Why do you want one so badly, Jock?" "That is a question Pan has asked several times. There are a lot of reasons. It changes my relationship to Pan. It strengthens it. We will be a family. I'm not sure you can consider two men who live together a family. Part of it is because how I was raised. My own parents thought it was important to reproduce so there are more Beasts in the world. After all, Dr. Rosenbloom isn't creating new ones anymore." I thought that was a very good reason, and I said so. "And I just love kids. I love to play with the kids who live on our block. I play catch with the boy who lives next door to us and have at least as much fun as he does." I was getting to know Jock and I began to understand why Pan loved him so much. "Those are great reasons, Jock. And I really like the idea of being one family with many parents and kids." "I do, too. Maybe someday the six of us will formalize it into a group marriage." "I think that word makes Alek run, screaming," I said, laughing. Jock chuckled. "He has changed, Eric. I was shocked when he said he was going to Mars. I still haven't figured out why. He's always been a social butterfly, flitting from party to party. Not to mention, sex partner to sex partner. Well, butterflies can't fly on Mars." I laughed. "True." "And he seems to realize that his life will be completely different." "Does he seem happy?" "I know he is very eager to see you. He feels very guilty about what happened to you." I sighed. "Maybe I'll kiss him until he stops feeling that way." "That would probably be very reassuring to him. He's wondering whether you agreed to allow him to live and sleep with you because Digger wants it." "No!" I sighed. "I'll call him. I love my new body. I lost track of how many orgasms I had yesterday. When I was human, I could only have two a day, and that wasn't easy. Digger and my mother also feel guilty about it. I don't understand that, either." "None of us knew what you wanted, and you were in no condition to ask. That's why." "Well, I'm happier than I've ever been. I'm surrounded by people who like me or love me. For the first time in my life, I'm not worried about what my father thinks. And to top it all off, I can now suck myself." Jock laughed. "You need to let your fan club members do that. That would be Digger, Alek, Pan, and me." I laughed. "Thank you for not including my mother." Jock laughed. He had a deep laugh. I really liked it. "Eric, um. There is one other thing I've been wondering about. It's difficult for me to ask and I'm a little afraid of the answer." "What is it?" "I'm not as attractive as Pan, Digger, or Alek. Do I appeal to you at all?" "To be honest, the only time I saw you, you had recently exploded." He laughed. "I know. I looked like shit!" "Do you have a picture you can send me?" "Of course. Do you want to see me in a swim suit?" "Or less." Jock chuckled. I got a ping as I received a file from him. I looked at it. He was naked and erect. "Damn! You've got a really nice cock!" I said. It was bigger than Digger's and Pan's. It was almost as big as Alek's. "Oh, shit!" "What is it, Eric?" "I bet everyone can smell my lust. I hope they think it's for Digger. We're about to get married!" "They won't know who you are lusting after, but I'm very relieved to know it's for me." "It is." "How does Pan feel about being in a relationship with Digger?" "He's fine with the idea. The three of us have had sex." "Really? Digger never mentioned that." "Pan rimmed me while Digger sucked me. It was awesome!" "I wish I'd been there," I said. "Do you? Well, we can do it all the time, if you want. I'm going to assume you want to be the one sucking." I laughed, nervously. "Uh, yeah. Um.Have they ever.Digger and Pan.I mean the two of them." "No. I know they jacked off together when they were younger, but other than that, it's just been three-ways. I'll talk to you soon. Dr. Rosenbloom is walking toward us." "OK. See you soon. Bye." We disconnected. I immediately received another file. It was from Jock, too. It showed a closeup of the head of a cock. There was a hairy hand underneath it with a palm full of glistening, white semen. I recognized it as Jock's cock. I wondered if he took that picture for Tim. Poor Tim, I thought. He might have wanted Jock to himself, but he sure didn't deserve to die. I hoped he died happy, waiting for the man he loved at The Bitch's Tavern. I forced myself not to think about that. Instead, I sent Jock a message. 'I want to lick your hand clean.' I immediately got a text response. "I want that, too. I hope you like the way I taste." "I'm sure I will." Then I surprised myself by adding, "Save some for me. End." I looked over at Digger. He was grinning at me. My mother was asleep. "Who was that?" "Jock." "Did he send pictures?" "Yeah." Digger chuckled. Digger whispered in my ear, "I spoke to Pan for a long time last night. I told him you were worried about harming their relationship, and falling in love with someone you shouldn't fall in love with. Pan isn't worried at all. No, that's not true. He has one worry. That is that you won't want to have sex with Jock. You sucked Pan, so he knows you have at least a little interest in him, but if you don't want Jock, they will have to find a bottom on Mars. That is bound to be tough. It sounds like you do, though." I nodded. "Pan said Jock loves to watch the flik with you and Alek. Sometimes Pan sucks him while he watches. Pan wondered if you might be willing to suck Jock while he watches it." I grinned at Digger. "I would love it!" "Good. I thought so. Jock would also love to replace Alek in the same scenario, when you are drinking his spunk while he fucks more into you." "OK, but no videos!" Digger chuckled. "Pan is really excited about all of us living together. He brought up the idea of all of us being in a group marriage someday. Our kids would all grow up in the same home and have all of us as parents. When he said that, I thought it might appeal to you. Jock and Pan, and maybe Alek would be your husbands, too, so you wouldn't feel guilty about having sex with any of us. What do you think?" "You would be Husband Number One," I said. "Of course! And you will sleep with me, whether you want to or not." I laughed and leaned my head against him. "Do you want to be in a group marriage?" I asked him. "I have no idea. I like the idea of there being one household. On that big, empty planet, we will be alone in a crowd. I'm beginning to think that is why Alek wants to live with us." I smiled. That concept appealed to me. There might not be many people, but our loved ones would be very close. I wondered whether we should postpone the wedding until we knew whether we wanted a group marriage. Digger and I would have to divorce before we could enter a group marriage. Then I realized it was way too late to postpone our marriage. I was about to fall asleep when I received a message from Richard. I read it. "Eric, I hoped to see you before you left. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed yesterday. I am very much looking forward to our next encounter, but I don't know how long your honeymoon will last. Are you going to honeymoon on the moon?" What a horrible idea! I thought. I would be nervous about Neos the whole time. I planned to be off the moon and back to the safety of Beasthold, just as soon as I could. I thought about Richard depending on me to have sex. He was a nice, brilliant, hot man. He really deserved an understanding wife (or husband) of his own. Em was kind of a workaholic. Could two workaholics hit it off? I wondered. Digger and I hadn't discussed a honeymoon. I certainly didn't expect one. If we had one, Beasthold would be the safest, and who wanted danger on a honeymoon? I thought about Aegina, then, and realized we could get married by a god, there. It occurred to me that Aegina would be a wonderful place for a honeymoon. We could come and go from there. Jake walked into the cabin at the same time I got a news alert and the cabin lights flashed. Something was happening. I sat up. Then I reached over and shook my mother to wake her. "We have just been instructed to turn around and go back to Beasthold. No flights to or from the moon are allowed until further notice. Some Neos have escaped from the prison on the moon," the captain said. "Oh, no!" my mother said. I smiled. I wasn't surprised a bit. Then I wondered if my father had escaped. If you enjoyed the story, please let me know.
