This site is unique on the net and deserves your support. The Human Bearer 44. He'd been granted a reprieve, as Xana's father had been busy giving other people orders, such as bringing a giant bed into his quarters and other things that counted as furniture. A lizard guard handed Riordan a long black tunic, the kind bearers wore around the ship, without paying him no mind. These guards were a mystery to him; where did they come from? What made them so loyal to the Xeno race? Could it be that their home planet had been conquered, the same as Earth? Riordan recalled the presence of the Earthian fighters on Galatea. Fighters? Yeah, right, he thought. They had been used as cannon fodder, but that still didn't explain why Gamni Gafilos had them on his ship. There were so many things he needed to ask, but for anything of the kind to happen, he had to wait for daddy in law to come back from wherever he was. He put on the tunic hurriedly and got out of the way as the guards handled the furniture. Besides the large bed, they had also brought a pair of chairs, a table and a tall rectangular mirror accompanied by a vanity desk. The first thing he wanted to ask Xeus was to take care of the little one while he went to visit Xana. Even if his lover and husband was unconscious, Riordan burned with the need to see him. To think that only days ago, he had believed that they would never be together again. However, he didn't even consider leaving Junior alone, not for a moment. Babies were amazing, indeed. Throughout the entire ruckus of guards coming and going, the Xenolite hadn't roused from his sleep for a moment. He looked content with the world, still sucking on his thumb. Riordan moved close to the large aquarium – it was hard for him to consider it anything else – and knelt by its side, pressing his face against the glass, close to his baby. Only then, despite the silence, Junior opened his eyes and looked at him. They stared at each other like that, separated by the glass. How much had the young one understood from what had happened to him over the last days? He had been born under dire circumstances, kidnapped by that evil Xeno, held in captivity, and then freed in the midst of violence and chaos. Riordan had thought for a long time that he would never care for anyone else save himself, because there was no one out there to care back. But now, all those things didn't matter. Because he cared about this tiny Xenolite, and, in Riordan's eyes, he was his whole world. Junior pressed his hands against the glass and then his entire face. Riordan laughed, and he was rewarded with a large grin. They understood each other, without words, and even without communicating the way Xenos did. The boy swam to the surface and rested over the edge, his long tail moving lazily through the water. Was it only Riordan's imagination, but was he already bigger than the day before? Cario's young was quite big already, but Dario was several months old. Young Xeus had been born only days ago. He straightened up and ran one hand through Junior's wet hair. It was dark and coarse, but not as coarse as Riordan's. He had been born with long hair, and it looked that, like the rest of him, his mane wanted to catch up with the development of his body, as it already ran down his back. "How are you, baby?" "Da..." "Are you talking already?" Riordan expressed his disbelief. Another large smile followed. "Da..." "That's a great start," he praised his son. He looked around to see if the guards thought of bringing over some towels. Luckily for him, those guys were pretty knowledgeable of all the things a human bearer needed. He came back to Junior with a large towel and helped him out of the water. Wrapping the baby in it, Riordan felt a wave of tenderness overwhelming him. It looked like Junior didn't mind another nap, even though he had just woken up. They could lie together on the large bed and enjoy some rest until granddaddy came back from his errands. He must have been asleep for some time when he heard the door opening with a hydraulic hiss. At first, a jolt of panic rushed down his spine, but then he recalled that now, he was safe. He and his baby both. And Xana. Happiness was almost complete. "He should sleep underwater until he grows stronger." Riordan cradled the Xenolite in his arms as he straightened up to face Xeus. "He did nap there for a long time. It looks like he prefers to spend his time equally in and out of the water. Is this really a big issue? Junior appears to know quite well what's good for him." "Junior," Xeus noted in a measured voice. "You're Xeus, he's Xeus. When we decided on the name, we had no idea this would be an issue." "There is no issue. You must stop coddling him. That is an Earthian custom, and I do not condone it." "Well, tough luck," Riordan said as he felt his usual anger at the world rearing its head again, "because I do." His reaction seemed to have taken his father in law by surprise, because the cold stare met his eyes with something akin to interest. "Give him to me," Xeus ordered curtly. Riordan pulled the baby towards his chest. "Are you going to throw him into the water, just to make him stronger or perform some idiotic parenting strategy you believe in?" "You use too many words. I would never hurt the child. Give him to me." Reluctant, but assured by the Xeno's words – after all, he was a hard-ass but he'd come through both by saving Xana and Junior on Galatea, and later, by getting the boy back from Jasno – Riordan handed the boy, now awake, to his granddaddy. Xeus held the Xenolite high and looked at him. It took Riordan a moment to realize that Xeus was weighing the boy. Junior moved his tail slowly, but he seemed to observe his grandfather with the same interest. "He grows fast," Xeus concluded. "I am satisfied by this development." Then, he took Junior back to the water tank and slid him slowly inside. "As you can see," he added without turning to face Riordan, "I'm not throwing him into the water just to make him stronger. That is an inane thing to believe." "Well, sorry, I haven't met many of you old-fashioned dudes until now. I have no idea what to expect," Riordan said. Xeus approached him next. "Undress, bearer." "This again?" Riordan squirmed under the stern gaze. "I was hoping, since you're here, that I could leave Junior in your care while I go to see Xana." "Why? He is recovering. He won't know you're there." "Well, it happens that I love your son, and just looking at his beautiful face would bring me peace," Riordan said, struggling to choose the correct words. "Love is an Earthian concept," Xeus said. "Where have I heard that before?" Riordan shook his head. Like father, like son, it seemed. "Okay, it is. But I wouldn't take long. Could you please do this for me?" "No. Xana's beautiful face, as you said, is now bloated because of the poison Gamni Gafilos infected him with. You Earthians are squeamish. It wouldn't bring you any peace." "Let me be the judge of that." "No." "Damn, is that your favorite word or something?" Xeus ignored his protests. "Undress." Riordan threw an uncomfortable look towards the tank. Junior was making his rounds, oblivious to what else was going on in their close quarters. "Not in front of him." "Your attitude suggests that I would treat you in some lewd manner. That is not true." Xeus moved around, and Riordan found himself fascinated by how that long muscular tail coiled and uncoiled. Also, he wasn't yet over the fact that Xana's dad was so big. Definitely taller and more muscular, so broad in shoulders. Compared to him, Xana looked like a teenager, although, otherwise, Riordan had thought his Xeno husband's physical appearance to be completely normal. Marn was big, too, and even Gamni had looked bigger than the average Xeno, but this guy was something else. The only thing that settled his fears was that his daddy in law wouldn't hurt him. Not unprovoked, at least. Xeus pulled what looked like a privacy screen between them and the water tank. That must have been installed by the same lizard guards when Riordan had been busy keeping his eyes on his son. "I imagined you would say such things. Your lewd nature is to blame. Undress." Riordan closed his eyes for a moment. So, it would be like some kind of weird medical examination. It appeared, quite clearly, that Xeus didn't share other Xenos' desire to penetrate Earthian holes – not for the same reasons, at least. Therefore, he obeyed the order and took off his tunic. He was about to ask how Xeus wanted him to lie for the whole thing to end up as soon as possible, but he didn't have the time. Daddy in law was all over him, forcing his legs open and holding him down by the throat. "You know," Riordan whispered angrily, "we would get along just fine if you didn't treat me like I'm some freaking rag doll." "Silence, Earthian. I need to examine you properly." "I have a name. It's Riordan." Above him, Xeus's pale eyes gleamed. "Relax. I will not hurt you." Well, easy for him to say. Riordan willed his muscles to go soft against that powerful hold. The squeeze on his throat didn't increase, but he gulped with unease nonetheless. Xeus made Riordan's head turn on all sides, while his eyes searched for something. Then, one hand was over Riordan's chest, squeezing a nipple. "Are you kidding me?" Xeus was bringing his fingers to his mouth, tasting his milk. "It is by no means as nutritious as seth. It is unexplainable." "Are you normally feeding your Xenolites with seth?" he asked. "No. They make it themselves from the moment they are born. Xana's young shows an increased ability to make it even. That is why he grows so fast. And yet, he still prefers this substance you call milk." Riordan grunted as Xeus pulled at his nipple and tasted again. Alright, he would just endure through it, and it would be over soon. However, it looked like that wasn't something Xeus had in mind, because he suddenly clamped his mouth over Riordan's chest and began sucking. A surge of unfamiliarity and arousal moved through him. Now that was one thing Xeus was right about. His damn body was a traitor. The last thing he needed right now was to show daddy in law that his suppositions were true. He set his jaw hard and tried to think of something else. The sounds of sucking were too loud, however. It looked like Xana's dad was a sloppy drinker of milk. It didn't help at all that Riordan felt like pushing his chest into that greedy mouth. It was a completely different thing feeding the Xenolite and letting himself abused by this beast. "Stop," he whispered. A miracle happened, and the sucking ended. "It has certain properties. However, except for becoming a preference among our young, your milk is nothing special. Xenolites could very well live without it." A new fear reared its head that very moment. "Are you going to cut off Junior just because you believe he doesn't need it? You know, there are other things a baby needs besides basic care." Xeus stared at him, while he moved his body to rest against Riordan's bare skin. The scales of his lower body rubbed against the insides of Riordan's thighs. There was something so strange about that sort of contact. And that asshole believed that he was the lewd one. Daddy in law was basically dry humping him this very instance after having sucked his nipple to a bruise only earlier. "Earthian young ones yes, not Xenolites," Xeus argued. "I will resume my examination now." Riordan whimpered as Xeus pushed himself away. His throat still remained in the other's grip. "You know, you don't have to strangle me. I'll do whatever you want." Xeus's pale eyes flashed at him with something new in them. "I do not strangle you. I gauge the changes in your pulse to establish the way your body works." "Weird," Riordan said meekly. Like before, Xeus ignored him. This time, he used his free hand to press one of Riordan's knee down and then the other. He seemed interested in examining Riordan's cock and balls. If the guy touched him, Riordan was sure as hell that he might nut instantly. "Yeah, I'm a dude, get over it," he said quickly, hoping that Xeus wouldn't focus his curiosity on that part of him for too long. "According to His Royal Chancellor, you Earthians were taken aback by our compatibility with your species, your males in particular. But we have been using males of other species for a long time," Xeus commented. He sounded as if he were giving a lecture. Riordan doubted any other student had attended such a thing while spread open like a slut ready to take it. "For real? But Xana's mom was a female of her species, right?" "Yes, they are only females there." Riordan felt something flaring in his brain. "Wait, all these guards... the lizards... are they females?" "Yes," Xeus replied, as that thing had to be common knowledge, and Riordan was at fault for not knowing it. "And they are from the same place as the one who carried my egg." Riordan didn't dare to ask more stupid things, such as whether Xeus had had any feelings towards Xana's mom. He just couldn't call her anything else. He doubted the Xeno would agree with such language. Apparently, things that were normal on other planets were considered dirty talk on Xeno... only that the planet was long gone, or at least that was what Riordan knew. "The fact that you are male is of no interest to me," Xeus continued. "I need to understand what is so different about you." "Besides the obvious?" Riordan asked. "Define what you mean by obvious," Xeus said and began stroking Riordan's cock. "Man, not cool," Riordan said and squirmed, too surprised to use many words. "Really, stop jerking me off." "But I understand that it is an efficient way of extracting your seed. Of course, I could always extract it from the sac underneath your sexual organ." Riordan was pretty sure he didn't want to know what Xeus meant by that. With them being Xenos and all, it had to include some weird procedure that might leave him in pain or worse. They were good at alleviating physical pain, without a doubt, but they didn't strike Riordan as a species careful about emotional scars. "What do you want to do with my seed?" Riordan asked. "I must taste it so that I can analyze it." "What the fuck?" Riordan slapped his mouth. Hopefully, Junior didn't hear him use that kind of language. As much as a child of the slums he was, he didn't want to raise his son like that. "Your surprise baffles me. You should appreciate that I am willing to give you release," Xeus said while his move continued. "Your pulse quickens. Your skin gets warm. These are signs of pleasure." "Oh, damn," Riordan whispered and grabbed handfuls of the sheets underneath his body. He shouldn't be so horny, should he? Was Xeus doing something to him? He hoped that was the case, because otherwise he was a complete whore. "Why are you taking so long?" Xeus asked impatiently. "Hey, it's not like you only have to push a button and it comes off," Riordan protested, whispering every word through his teeth. "But there is something like that from what I understand of your anatomy." He should have expected that. Even if he knew it would happen, what difference would it make? Xeus's tail pushed through the tight ring of his ass, going straight at it. Riordan gasped and moaned. He pressed one hand hard over his mouth to stifle the sounds he was making. Xeus's tail pressed and brushed against his prostate mercilessly. "Ah, finally," Xeus commented and then he put his mouth directly on the head of Riordan's cock, making an explosion of pleasure follow. Riordan no longer knew what was going on. There was a warm tongue on his cock, a strong appendage inside his ass, and a hand around his throat still half-cutting his air supply. And he was cumming like a freaking hose. He closed his eyes as his entire body shook with the force of his release. When he came to it, Xeus was staring at him, licking his lips. "Well, did you have enough? Just for the record, that was weird as..." Riordan bit his bottom lip to hide his embarrassment. "What did you find out?" As much as he wanted to tell his daddy in law that sucking a guy's dick was not okay, especially since that guy was his son's husband, he only wanted this weird session to end. What would Xana think of the whole thing? There was no way he'd keep this away from him. On the other hand, he didn't want Xana to get jealous over his own dad. Damn, the situation he was getting himself into... well, not by himself, but there was no point to argue aimlessly. "Your genetic material is fascinating," Xeus said. "Your species contains different races, correct?" "Yes," Riordan said meekly. "And you are not of a single race." "No. But don't ask me for my family tree. I grew up on the street." "There's no need for any information from you. You appear to have extracted traits from at least six different Earthian races. Without knowing it, of course. You are the result of different pairing and breeding choices." "Wow, cool," Riordan said softly. He had no energy left for anything after having just been sucked dry by daddy in law, and that only for the sake of an experiment. A scientific experiment, apparently. He had his own ideas about it, but he hoped that if he kept his mouth shut, Xeus would eventually leave him alone. "Turn." The order took him by surprise, although he should have been used to it by now. "Why?" "Always questioning every word. I must understand why your lewd nature has such a strong effect on my progeny." "You're going to check my ass, aren't you?" Riordan asked. "For the record, man, this isn't normal. Xana will get mad when he learns about it." "No, he will not. He will find the results of my examination as fascinating as I. Why do you protest so much?" "Because exposing my ass to you is not okay," Riordan continued to argue. Xeus was already manhandling him, turning him and placing him on all fours. Then, the tail in question was inside his ass again. "And this is also not okay," he breathed out. tbc If you like this story and want to read a few chapters ahead, you can do so on my SubscribeStar - https://subscribestar.adult/daemon-d-hart You'll also find there 3D renders of my characters, Tasha's story (ongoing), hot short stories, and many other things.
