Now that Tethys knew about my attraction towards him, and I knew that he returned the feeling, small talk with the enormity felt somewhat effortless. I was much more open about getting to know him, asking him questions, as well as answering his questions about me. Tethys did an exceptional job of balancing his machismo attitude, and his attentiveness towards our conversation; Except when his bowl of simulated freshly killed animal product was situated in front of him. Slightly repulsed by his lack of table manners, I also found it amusing to watch him eat. If I hadn't been sitting there talking to him, he probably would have licked his large bowl clean. I made sure to take it upon myself to get a little wild with my fruit sorbet that I was snacking on too. One thing was for sure, every time he rose to get a new bowl of food, I made sure to get as much water from the dispensary that I could. Spending the night in the sauna, which was our quarters was requiring profuse amounts of liquid to keep me hydrated. "So you tell me," Tethys spoke between obscene mouthfuls. "That you enjoy piloting antiquated ground vehicles," Tethys took in a few more mouthfuls. "That will propel you to your death?" Just like that, his bowl was finished. My stomach ached at how much food the life form was capable of consuming, but I only smiled. "The idea is to NOT die behind the wheel," I quickly scrambled to gobble a few spoonfuls of my fruity, frozen concoction once I realized that Tethys was eating me under the table. "I personally enjoy wrenching on the broken bits." I shoveled in a few more bites. "It makes me feel connected to the car, like I am the one who built it from scratch." Tethys' claws screeched against the metal bowl that contained his food, and I cringed a bit from the discomfort. Tethys' pupils dilated as he read my discomfort. "I apologize," Tethys slumped over his bowl. "I should not be behaving so inappropriately." If Tethys was capable of frowning, he would have the most heart wrenching puppy dog eyes to match it. I only laughed more boisterously than I probably should have from the irony. Just a week ago, Tethys did not apologize for his behavior. "No," I gasped quietly, catching my breath. "It was the sound that got me." I never participated in an eating contest before, and although I could never hold a candle to just how much Tethys can eat, I had fun trying my best to keep up. Tethys smiled as he rose to grab yet another bowl. "I will bring you more water," Tethys jeered. I couldn't help but groan more loudly than I anticipated at the thought. "Another bowl Tethys?" I asked. The truth was, I probably would not be capable of finishing my first serving. "That will be your fifth one!" It astonished me, just how much he could eat. "Yes," Tethys replied bluntly as he glanced at my halfway finished bowl of food. "You have many more bites left Lux. I will stop eating when you have finished." I sunk into my chair with a sound of frustration as Tethys left to get himself more to eat. I couldn't help but glance around at the other feline crewmen that sat around us. The overwhelming sense that they were judging Tethys was slightly irritating as I saw several of them gawking at the mess that Tethys had left on the table. "Are you finished Lux?" Tethys asked as he returned with a new glass of water, placing it in front of me. "I expected this glass of water would be empty before I returned." Tethys' look expressed a kind of worry, and I felt bad. "Nah! Keep `Em coming big guy!" I smiled as I chugged my previous glass of water in front of him, slamming the glass onto the table with more machismo than I actually possessed. Tethys flashed a proud look at me, and we began furiously devouring our food together once more. This time, I made sure to get a little bit more of my food around my mouth, rather than inside it. I couldn't help but stare challengingly at the onlookers as we ate. After we had our fill of food, Tethys and I wandered casually towards the bridge. Tethys held his full stomach with pride, and I just struggled to relieve the brain freeze I had been experiencing from eating my frozen meal too quickly. I noticed Tethys' large hand encompassing the nape of my neck in a friendly gesture since I was not watching where I was going. "You put on quite the show in there little one," Tethys' voice was filled with pride. "You would make an impressive Draconian." I shared a glance up at Tethys who flashed his dangerous teeth in a Draconian smile. "What do you mean?" I asked tepidly. "When you sit with a Draconian, you eat like one. Or else I might've become your next meal." I grinned sarcastically at the mighty brute who effortlessly directed me away from an imminent collision with another crewman. "You think I did not notice the way the others looked at me," Tethys remarked. "I did. I am not only able to pick up just your emotions by smelling you. I know how they feel about me." Tethys tried his best to keep in his discomfort. "Well, now they feel the same way about me too. What do I care?" I shrugged at his commentary. The section we had entered into was devoid of anyone else, and Tethys took that opportunity to stop me. Turning me towards him, Tethys pulled my chin up to face him. The now familiar feeling I got as he cooed softly was comforting. Tethys then proceeded to wipe the messy remnants of food away from my mouth, and I paused briefly as he provided his finger to me. I could feel the atmosphere around me heat up as I decided to take his large finger into my mouth, sucking gently the remnants of my breakfast from his finger. Tethys' soft plumage puffed up from the stimulation that I gave him. I blushed slightly from seeing his sharp eyes take in the view. "I cannot wait to make you my next meal Lux," Tethys growled seductively to denote his desire. I responded with a mixture of emotions: Humor, fear, but definitely arousal from his proposal for the most part. Tethys quickly regained his professionalism as we continued to walk towards the bridge. His hand never left the nape of my neck as we walked the rest of the way together. As we entered the bridge, we were greeted with a friendly smile from Mina. Tethys released his protective hold from me, and I couldn't help but absently rub the space where his hand once was. "Good evening gentlemen," Mina greeted. Tethys nodded politely at her. "I hope the two of you have a lot of lessons planned for tonight, it's been nothing but empty expanse in front of us all day." I looked past Mina, out of the bridge window. The stars whizzed by in streaks of light. "The captain has had a fruitful day today. We were able to cover many topics with so little else to do." Hyakk chimed in. "Piloting lessons for Lux should be easy tonight then," Tethys remarked, and Mina flashed me a glance before continuing. "Yes well, we should leave you to it then." Mina smiled as she headed towards the doors with Hyakk. "Mina," I spoke, walking towards her and Hyakk as they left. "I was wondering if you might have some time tomorrow before your shift. I have some questions I would like to ask you." Mina shot another glance at Tethys before flashing me a friendly smile. "If your teacher can spare the time, I would be more than happy to answer any questions that you have to the best of my ability." I smiled at Mina as they politely bowed out for the evening. With an upbeat step I approached my station, and Tethys assumed a stance behind me. "1800 and I'm ready to go. What I wouldn't give for a couple shots of tequila right about now." Tethys' soft expression, and muffled amusement perked up the atmosphere a bit as we began our long night shift together. The night moved by quickly as Tethys began teaching me how to read my display panel. He was very thorough in explaining what the different symbols, and buttons mean on my display. Occasionally, Tethys would place his hand on my shoulder reassuringly when I didn't quite understand. He even made a couple of excuses to push the boundaries of appropriate conduct with a subordinate (meaning me). As the night neared its end, I was feeling particularly bothered. The pending test results loomed in the back of my head, and I was anxious to get them back. I wasn't sure if it was just Tethys' emanations that he continuously gave off, or what, but I hoped the results would be promising for both of us. Once 0400 hours came around, Tethys dismissed me so that I was able to visit Mina before shift change. By then my cock ached from all of the hardons Tethys had given me throughout the night. He was teasing me, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to last. Nonetheless, I promptly made it to Mina's quarters by 0405 hours. Since she was the Captain, her quarters were a lot closer to the bridge in case of emergencies. Pressing the button on the wall next to her doors, I waited for her to greet me. Upon opening her door, our regal captain looked poised as if she had not even slept. She wore a long, white, silk nightgown, with a cream and gold colored crochet shawl. The delicate patterns that made up the shawl looked like numerous small sundisks that made up the majority of the detail work. The golden threads reflected the light of the corridor. Mina's pale hair had been pulled back into a sleek ponytail. Not a single strand on her head was out of place, and each lock glistened with the same sheen of the golden threads in her shawl. I envied her perfection that bestowed serious `I woke up like this' vibes. "Good morning Lux," Mina smiled as she eyed my weary posture, and less than glamorous ponytail. "You look tired. Please come in." Mina elegantly stepped aside and I smiled gratefully. "May I get you anything Lux? Food, refreshments?" Mina walked by my side as I approached a large, comfortable chair on the other side of the room. I placed my palm in the air, shaking my head with my response, "No thanks." I hesitated, soaking up the cooler, dryer atmosphere in Mina's quarters. I envied this experience. I hadn't felt this comfortable since I had the air conditioner replaced in my apartment last summer, back on Earth. I guess Mina could tell how comfortable I was becoming, because she grinned enthusiastically. Pouring a cold glass of water before taking her seat across the small table in front of me, I heard a small chuckle escape her lips. "Sorry, my quarters are perhaps 15 degrees warmer, Fahrenheit that is, and 20 percent more humid. I'm sure that my hair is becoming a frizzy hot mess, while I begin to melt into my sheets. Next thing you know, all that will be left of me is a shaggy mop of hair." I smiled sheepishly, and Mina laughed more audibly with her amusement. "It is quite alright Lux. I have spent a few days on Draco before. The planet is scorched by its own white giant, Thuban. Draco is a tidally locked planet, with one side always dry and hot. The other side is too cold for life. Around it's luminary equator, a small ring of humid, windy rainforests support a diverse ecosystem. Most Draconians do not know what a circadian rhythm is, and most do not require sleep for weeks on end. Most Draconians only sunbathe as they regain their strength for a period. Draco's day and night cycle is only influenced by its axial tilt." Mina sighed as she remembered the strange world. "The fact that a dangerous place like Draco can have the most beautiful sunrises, and sunsets all day long is something special that only Draco has." Mina took a small sip of her water. "Did you know anyone there?" I asked, and Mina's lips curled as she flashed an eye towards me. "With such positive memories of a place, I find that they are often influenced by wonderful people that we meet there, and not just the sunsets or the view." My fingers curled around my glass as I wove my fingers into themselves. My gaze dropped in thought. "Clearly you have never been to Draco, or you would not be saying that. Everything about that planet is memorable." Mina placed her glass on the table, and rose to head towards a small armoire nearby. "Draco's people are shaped by the uniqueness of its climate. Forty percent of the planet is covered by desert, another forty by ice. Crossing two kinds of hell has been an essential part of their culture." Mina opened the armoire to pick out a jar and a brush. "War was necessary over the twenty percent of habitable land that Draco possesses. It's a big culture, with such little space for growth. Draconians evolved into a caste based society to deal with its unsustainable population." Moving her chair behind me, Mina returned to remove my hair from its tie. Mina then proceeded to apply a thick, floral cream to the strands of my hair, before tenderly brushing out my tangles tentatively. "Mina," I started. "Why don't I remember any of this?" Mina only hummed in thought. The brush bristles messaged my scalp as I melted into her tenderness. "Tethys thinks that I'm his soulmate doesn't he? He's mentioned it on a couple of occasions. He knew my name, even before the rest of you did." I sighed with my troubles. "He talks to me like I'm his past lover or something; Returned to take my place by his side." My voice trembled a bit from the confession. "Have you?" Mina asked as she continued her attention towards my unkempt locks. "I-I don't know," I paused. "I mean, I don't even know if we're compatible. He's proven to be much more dangerous than I ever thought. And although that excites me, I can't deny the fear that also brings me." Mina placed her brush down and I heard her silk gown shuffle as she grabbed her handheld mirror for me. "I don't know, you might be pretty strong yourself. If he says that you possess his past love's soul, then there must be more to you than what meets the eye Lux." Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but blush a little bit. I had never had such silky smooth hair before. It suited me, and I saw Mina smile in the reflection of the mirror. "As a captain, I cannot condone relations between my crewman," Mina started, a little bit more sternly before her face softened once more. "Then again, neither of you are members of the Council worlds, so my say really carries very little weight with both of you." Mina turned me, and moved a loose strand of hair behind my ear like a mother would do. "Whatever you decide, I know that you'll do what is best for you." Feeling more at ease with my particular predicament, conversation with the Captain was easy. Mina indulged me in many stories. About Draco, her people, and the Council worlds. I enjoyed hearing her educate me about the history of her people, which made me feel a little bit less homesick as I related her experiences to my own. Though it felt like hours had passed, Mina politely excused herself to get ready for her next shift. I frowned at the thought of returning to my humid quarters, but also blushed at who I would meet once I got there. Mina generously provided me with one of her brushes, and a jar of her miracle hair cream with implicit care instructions for anti-humidity hair care. I thanked her egregiously for her support, and she proceeded to warn me as a friend. "Lux," Mina began. "Please do not drag another unwilling patient to the Medbay for a medical examination. Okay?" Her smile showed humor though her words were serious. "You know about that?" I scoffed with guilt. "For a particularly silent race of beings, the Greylings have profoundly large mouths. I found out about Tethys' incident in today's report. Please be more careful Lux." My blush blasted to the surface of my ivory complexion with brutal force, and I smiled with embarrassment. Should I deny my involvement with this unfortunate happenstance? It was Dorian's fault after all. "I promise to be more careful Captain," I chose instead to mind her words, and proceeded to leave her quarters to get ready for bed. It wasn't a long walk to the commissary, and then to my quarters. I decided to grab something a bit more filling than Hyakk's fruit sorbet. What I wouldn't give for a cheeseburger right about now. Stocking up on water, and also grabbing a couple of orders of simulated animal products for Tethys, I made my walk back to our quarters. With no free hands left to open the doors to our quarters, I swiftly kicked my foot against the door hoping Tethys would answer. He did not. Sighing with frustration, I sat down all that I had carried and pressed the access button on the panel. The door chirped as it proceeded to open. Quickly, I placed my foot in the doorway to hold it open for me while I regained hold of my haul. Once inside the dark room, it was apparent that I was alone. Once I had placed the food on the table by the door, I called out for Tethys. No answer. Our quarters weren't large, so I didn't bother another try. Instead, I began to remove my uniform. I wasn't long into disrobing before I felt a hand resting on my shoulder. I nearly jumped out of my skin in terror. Turning as the remnants of my clothes fell to the floor, I saw a man standing close by. A human man. "You are beautiful Lux. Do you know that?" The man spoke with a softened dominance and my heart leaped into my throat as I took another step back. "I want you to feel as good as you have made me feel, Lux." His buttery smooth words did not quell my fears. "Who are you?" I demanded from the stranger in my room. He appeared human enough. Too tall for most, and god was he muscular. The whites of his eyes glistened in the low lighting in my quarters. "I am your toy," The man began. "I want to experience all that you have to give." I choked on his words as he took a step closer, closing the gap in what took me two to distance myself from this stranger. "I don't know who you think you are, but this isn't going to work. My bunkmate will return, and he will kill you." By now, I was trembling in fear despite my empty threat. I could hear a familiar laugh coming from behind the figure. Though I could not see anything, I knew who the laugh belonged to. I couldn't seem to find Tethys anywhere as I frantically searched the dark room with my eyes. Leaning through the man's face, like the glassy surface of water, broken by a single droplet, a large snout leaned forward through the man in front of me. Tethy's familiar, golden eyes peered down at me with amusement. "What is the matter little one? You disapprove of the plaything that I created for you?" Tethys' toothy jowl leered at me and his laughter began to echo in the room around us. "What the actual fuck Tethys!" I shouted at the humored brute. "What were you thinking, scaring me like that?" The illusion of the man vanished as Tethys took another step through it. Grabbing my shoulder, I could feel his restraint waning. "I have not been able to smell anything but arousal from you since what happened yesterday, Lux. I was merely providing you with an outlet for all of your, tensions." Tethys stressed the last word in his statement with a raw, sexual energy that had me standing stiffly at attention between my legs. He was right, I couldn't help but get aroused every time I was in Tethys' presence. Tethys drew in a ragged breath as he smelled my arousal. I couldn't help but feel even more turned on from my raw, unadulterated exposure to him. I couldn't clown my way out of this one, or hide beneath my sheets until it subsided. There I was, bare for Tethys to see, and I loved seeing his sharp eyes look my form up and down as he let go of his desperate breath. "We will know soon, Tethys." I practically moaned his name as the air from his lungs wafted past my neck. I placed my palm on his chest reassuringly, and slowly kneeled to retrieve my uniform from the floor. It was then that I saw it, exactly what I was doing to him. Too close to my cheek, Tethys's prominent mound showed a pronounced tip, glistening with precum. Up close and personal, I could smell his arousal too. I tried to shake it the best that I could, but my resolve was weakening. I hadn't even noticed before, Tethys was naked too, and I had front row seats to view his cock struggling to come out of his sheath. I cautiously glanced up at the brutish Draconian life that towered above me, and I gulped hard from seeing the piercing desire in his eyes. My clothes were going to stay right where they were for now. "I brought us some food," I cleared my throat as I rose back up to face his broad chest. My cheeks burned on my face. God did I want him. "I couldn't carry five dishes, but I thought two would be a decent snack." Tethys growled with pleasure. "There's only two things I love more than sex, little one." Tethys nuzzled the nape of my neck with his toothy muzzle. "War, and food." A playful nip at my neck made me jump with excitement, before Tethys moved to approach the table where I sat the food. "Sit," Tethys ordered, and I made the short journey to my bed. But before I could take a seat, Tethys corrected me. "Not there. You will sit with me." Tethys commanded. "If I must wait to pleasure you, you will at least indulge me." Tethys' low voice bellowed, as I moved to sit cautiously on the edge of his bed. The warm glow of his basking light warmed my skin as I awaited Tethys' return to his bed. Before grabbing my dish, Tethys proceeded to illuminate our quarters, allowing me to see him better. Tethys was beautiful to behold. The amber feathers atop his head puffed up with his excitement, and his crimson scales obscured the bright light with their dull finish. Turning towards me, my bowl of food resting in his large hand, I was able to receive a better glance at his darkened underbelly that outlined the front of his form. Between his legs, his cock had not receded back into its sheath. Rather, a larger quantity had slipped out. His semi-flaccid member hung low as it struggled to gain as much ground in its fight to come out and play. Tethys slowly sat beside me, one of his arms wrapped around my shoulder, while the other presented me with my bowl of food. The grey slime wasn't what I had imagined someone would be feeding me in such a romantic expression. Nonetheless, I began to reach for the spoon. Tethys wasn't having any of that however, and he moved the bowl away from my reach. "Is this the part where I scream like a brat to get what I want?" I asked jokingly. "If you wish," Tethys cooed in response, making my eyes grow wide as they once again connected with his ever-growing cock. "I would like to feed you, if you will allow me." I nodded, never taking my eyes off of his impressive dick's smooth, tapered surface. Underneath, I caught a glimpse of several ridges lining the underside of his cock. Ridge, after pleasurable ridge, I was sure. Tethys broke my concentration with a spoonful of goo, and I eagerly opened my mouth to accept it. Being fed by the naked, enormous hunk was the worst kind of foreplay I could've imagined. Each spoonful made my cock throb harder, and soon my cock began to ooze a copious amount of precum. Setting my bowl beside us, Tethys swiped the tip of my cock with his large finger, which sent a hard shiver up my spine. Nearly rattling apart from the wanton lust that I was feeling, Tethys brought his finger once more to my mouth, presenting it for me. I knew what he wanted, because I had already indulged him with this fantasy earlier. Regardless, I once again took his clawed finger into my mouth, sucking on the slightly salty concoction that my sexual heat had brewed. Tethys' immense cock twitched at the sight. I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever be able to take his large rod at all. Even if we were biologically compatible, it was a very intimidating cock, just like the rest of him. "What does it taste like, Lux?" Tethys asked, drowning in his and my arousal. "Salty," I responded, mesmerized by his cock. Tethys grabbed my shoulders as he pulled me down to lay beneath the basking lamp with him. On his back, his large member twitched as it presented its full self to me. "You have not eaten yet," I acknowledged, and Tethys hummed. "Let me help you." I insisted. Leaving to retrieve his food, I couldn't help but quake under the pleasurable sounds the Draconian warrior made as he observed me from behind. I had never felt that attractive before, and it made me swoon to know that someone enjoyed the show as much as I enjoyed giving him one. I made sure that my narrow hips moved my ass as seductively as I could muster. I wasn't used to behaving in such a manner, but god did I want to dish out everything that Tethys had served to me. Grabbing his food, I turned to observe the immense Draconian watching every movement I made. His eyes never left my body, and I was able to see him better from here too. Approaching his bed once more with food, Tethys pulled himself to rest his enormous mass against the bulkhead waiting for my return. I delicately climbed on top of Tethys' lap, and began feeding him his own snack. I tried not to think too much about what I was hand feeding this predator. Instead, I focused on how our cocks touched. His was much larger than my own, and I couldn't help but dribble a bit more precum from the thoughts I was having. I also paid close attention to his sharp teeth, as my hand came dangerously close to his mouth full of daggers. Tethys was very careful though as he slowly accepted his food into his mouth. It didn't take him long before one of his hands wandered to my waist though. Grabbing me, and pushing himself into my taint with a pleasure induced thrust, Tethys grunted as every bit of his being held him back from doing whatever it was that he truly wanted with me. A soft moan escaped my lips as one of his slick ridges brushed my hole gently from his effort. "Don't give up now big guy," I cheered playfully. "One more day to go, and then we'll have the answer." Tethys only groaned in desperation. "Tell me something," I mused. "How rough should I expect it to be? You know, if we are able to... umm, well, fuck." My last word showed my desperation for him as well, and Tethys placed his other hand around my waist giving my hole another nudge. "As rough as you can handle," Was all I got back from him. I frowned a bit from his response, and Tethys sat up immediately. His cock, and mine tightly embracing each other. I let out another moan. "I'm not as durable as you Tethys," I couldn't help but lose a bit of my composure. "What if I can't handle it?" I fought back the urge to whimper from his subtle ministrations to my hole. Tethys moved the same strand of hair behind my ear, and his large dull claw brushed my cheek tentatively. "Then we try something else little one." By now, Tethys' frowns could be felt, though not seen on his face. "I do not need to be inside of you to make you feel pleasure." "But I want to Tethys. God I want to feel every part of you inside of me, right now." I gasped in a desperate plea to regain my composure. "I don't know if I've wanted something more in my life." Sex Brain only makes people act stupidly, and was I feeling particularly dense right now. Tethys laughed at my bimboism. "I can still make you feel pleasure, even without being inside of you Lux." Tethys wrapped his arms around me, and embraced me tightly in his grasp. He pulled me closer to him than I have been yet. Soon, those same emanations that he had made days before, that left me swooning, enveloped my entire body. The pleasure of the whole experience caused my cock to pulse with pleasure, and my whole body erupted into orgasm. Ropes of cum gushed from my sore cock, and I coated his cock with nearly all of it. I wanted to sit up to see the pleasure that Tethys had just brought me, but before I knew it, several warm jets of cum began to shoot from Tethys' own cock and onto our chests. The billowing growls that came from Tethys' orgasm had left me locked tightly in his embrace, and he was rubbing his cock against mine with ferocious lust. Each of his soft ridges squeezed more cum from my cock, and I noticed that we were becoming a wet sandwich of cum. Sleep came easily to me after Tethys had given me such an enormous release. I didn't care that I was lying under a hot lamp, with our cum glueing us together. All I cared about was the sensitive way that Tethys made me feel. Laying with my ear to his chest, Tethys' strong heartbeat thumped in my brain. The soft rattling that his breath made, messaged away the fears that I had about being with a man that was easily twice my mass. All I felt was the rhythm of his body, and how my own rhythm seceded into his. I was happy to melt here with him under the basking light, but I couldn't help but stir a bit as the enormous brute below me grabbed me to move me aside. In my exhausted state, I moaned with displeasure as he lifted me from his chest. "Your body is heating up," Tethys cooed. "So what, it feels nice." My response was blunt and unmoved. My hair hid my face as I tried to reach sleep again. "You will not be saying that in the morning, Lux. I know enough about mammalian anatomy to know that you cannot lay here under the lamp all night." Tethys sounded amused by my open defiance. "Let's get you cleaned up, and I will turn down the heat lamp. If you still wish to lay with me that is?" Tethys was testing my resolve, and my tired ass knew it. Nonetheless, I let out a small whimper as I allowed Tethys to lift me up, and escort me into the commode with him. By now, our cum was hardening into a messy sheet of film on our bodies. I couldn't help but laugh at the brute, covered in his own cum. My cum too. It gave me an enormous sense of pride, seeing Tethys like that, and I ran my fingers across my own chest feeling the large patch of cum drying there. His cum. Tethys snorted as he turned on the sonic shower. "I can smell more arousal from you, Lux," Tethys jeered. "You'll make me lose the war." I chuckled as I watched the brute turn offering his hand to guide me into the shower. "The Two Days War; The most difficult battle Tethys has ever fought." I then grabbed Tethys by the wrist, and guided him into the shower with me. Hesitant, Tethys seceded to me, his pronounced mound once again showing me the tip of his cock. I smiled. "It's not over yet, little one. How do you think they will tell it?" Tethys asked, and he began to message my warm body. "Tethys, the unstoppable dragon, versus Lux, the wiley harpy," I hummed as I backed into the enormous lump positioned at the small of my back. I was really enjoying the power that Tethys gave me over his body. I don't think I would want it any other way. Tethys let out a series of low grunting sounds, like he was calling to me in an effort to claim me, and I wasn't unreceptive. More rather, I simply turned to face him. In the tight space of the sonic shower, our bodies were dangerously close to each other. My full mast cock rubbed against his thigh, and Tethys responded by releasing a bit more of his cock from his sheath. It amused me to see his large member not only grow, but show more of itself to me; its willing participant. I couldn't let our instinctual needs win though, rather I played with them. I massaged Tethys' broad chest and pronounced abs, and I helped remove the crust that was coating him. As I moved my hands lower, making a point not to touch his fully engorged cock, Tethys lowered his snout into the nape of my neck and began to massage my ass cheeks. He was losing, and he wanted me to face the same fate. My resolve was stronger than his, though it was fading quickly. "Do Draconians shed their skins?" I asked, trying to distract myself from the sexual urgency that was fast approaching me. Tethys merely moaned as my hands never stopped touching him. "Indeed they do," Tethys' breath tickled the nape of my neck, and I could feel his jaw opening a bit to take a small part of me inside of his razor sharp jowls. He delicately nipped at my neck, gently rolling my flesh between his teeth. He was careful not to break the skin though, so very careful. "What are we talking about here?" I continued. "Are we talking about full on, one piece shedding? Do you shed one scale at a time?" My fingers outlined the circumference of a few of his scales. "Or is it one cell at a time, like most-" Tethys bit down a little bit harder this time, cutting me off. "Why must we discuss Draconian anatomy at this time, little one?" Tethys remarked stubbornly. I peered up at his closed eyes as he soaked up all of my gentle touches. I moved one hand to rub the bottom of his jaw gently, feeling the variation of scales on his face. Tethys opened his double eyelids, and his brilliant yellow eyes made contact with me. The same simmering gaze that he had made yesterday connected with my own desire. "I want to know," I said matter of factly. Tethys was amused by my obstinance, and he quickly turned me away, so that he could clean my chest from behind me. In this position, Tethys' large member rubbed between my ass cheeks and he paid special attention to my hole between them. "We mostly shed one scale at a time," Tethys answered, indulging my curiosity. With his large hands, he was able to clear the crusty remnants of earlier away with just a few swipes. Now he turned his attention to the member that hung between my legs. In Tethys' grasp, my cock seemed small, even though I knew that it was nothing really to sneeze at. It was oddly invigorating to see only two of his fingers be able to encompass my cock effectively. Tethys began his own ministrations as he moved his fingers across my cock. He started slowly, and gradually began picking up the pace. "You're trying to silence me," I joked between gasps of pleasure. Tethys hummed his approval. "Is it working?" Below his rock hard facade, I could hear an ocean of pleasure just waiting to get out. His voice shook the entire damn shower. At least it shook me. "Yes, but-" Tethys bit down on my shoulder, this time I winced in pain. Tethys backed off a bit, observing the blood that he had drawn. "I'm sorry Lux, you do not understand just how turned on I am right now." Tethys apologized. I simply reached for his member that was peeking out between my legs, massaging my ballsack with the tip of his cock. "That hurt," I whined. "But maybe do it again." That was a new sensation that I had never felt before, and although it hurt, I couldn't help but feel the arousal that he intended from it. Without hesitation, Tethys wrapped his other hand around my hip, and began moving my ass along his cock. He became a little bit more aggressive as he started to lick the wounds that he had created with his teeth. "Your bite isn't venomous, right?" I barely spoke the words as he returned to stroking my cock, bringing me close to orgasm. Tethys growled possessively. "I can make it feel venomous if you like, but no it is not." The sheer amusement that I brought him was palpable. Once again, Tethys brought me close as he began producing those sounds that made me collapse from immense pleasure earlier. "Are you ready, Lux?" He asked me. "Yes," Was all I could muster. And before I knew it, Tethys' low cooing, his attention to my cock, and one last gentle bite at my shoulder brought me over the edge. I began to cum so hard that I grew weak at the knees, but Tethys' own cock between my legs kept me from collapsing. Tethys never let go of me, and right on que, I could see several bolts of his own cum gush from his cock between my legs. I was astonished with how much the beast could cum. Rope, after thick rope of cum jetted onto the shower wall in front of us. Once again, Tethys' growing obsession with feeding me my own cum came to a head as he brought his cum soaked hand to my mouth. "Lick it," He ordered, and I did what he bid me to. As I cleaned my own cum off of his hand, Tethys continued to lick the wound on my shoulder. We had definitely not heeded the Medbay's advice about abstaining. Since I let Tethys break my skin, and he also licked my bloody shoulder, I wasn't sure what might happen now. A bit of apprehension filled my core, where my arousal once existed. Tethys drew in his breath, sensing the change in my emotions. "You do not approve." Tethys announced, and he immediately released his grasp on me. I turned to face him, grabbing his cock gently as it began to recede back into Tethys' body. "Of course I approve." I spoke softly. "I have NEVER had such strong orgasms in my life, Tethys." Tethys snorted with pride. "I just don't know if we are compatible yet, and we've already disregarded each other's safety. You bit me-" "You enjoyed it," Tethys cut me off. "Yes," I paused. "And now you and I could be infected with some sort of bacteria that neither of our immune systems were prepared for." Tethys just grunted a few low bouts of laughter at me. "What?" I mused. "We will deal with whatever happens, because we both will have to deal with it together now." Tethys grabbed my chin, and he pulled my face up to look at his simmering gaze. "But you enjoyed it." That last bit exposed more laughter in the big brute's disposition. I rubbed the sore spot where Tethys bit my shoulder, tracing each small puncture around my shoulder. Tethys leaned down to my ear to whisper to me. "It seems that in my crazed state, I have claimed you for my own." Tethys once again laughed quietly in my ear. My cheeks blushed at the thought. "I am not going anywhere now." "Oh god!" I gasped at the realization. "Was that some kind of mating ritual?" I asked. "Yes," Tethys hissed. "And most Draconians mate for life." "Fuck me..." Was all I could say in response to Tethys' words. "Do you still wish to wait for the test results?" Tethys asked, but I wasn't paying him much attention. His large hand on my shoulder brought me back to reality though. "Huh?" I asked, startled slightly by his touch. "Oh, no. That's just an expression. We, we should wait." Tethys nodded. "Very well." Tethys turned off the sonic shower, and then guided me back to the main room of our quarters. As he decreased the intensity of his heat lamp, I struggled to push my bed up next to his. The fresh wound on my shoulder hindered me from really pushing hard. Tethys saw me struggling, and returned by my side to assist me. With his help, it was effortless. I could've used one finger to move the bed. Once Tethys had climbed onto the bed, I cautiously followed. At first I tried to lay on my bed, separately from Tethys, but he didn't like that idea. He quickly pulled me in close to his embrace. I knew that if his heat lamp was off, that he would need a new source of heat, and that was going to have to be me. I laid within the space that he created for me. I felt like the perfect small spoon, to his big spoon. We wouldn't be getting many hours of sleep tonight, and for me, it would not be very restful as my thoughts whirled around my brain. As the hours passed, and our shift was close to starting, Tethys' large form stirred me as he moved from the bed. My head fell to the mattress once his arm was no longer supporting it. I quickly rolled over to where the behemoth once laid, feeling the warmth that he left behind. I couldn't help but feel cool, and it was the first time that I felt cold inside this room. Fighting back the chills that the room encouraged, I dragged a portion of my sheets over my naked body. Tired from a long morning, I wasn't quite ready to wake up just yet. "Wake up, Little one," Tethys cooed softly. Although comforting, his protrusion into my sleep was aggravating at best. "Provide me coffee, and then I'll wake up." Sleep coated my throat with bitterness. "I do not have coffee," Tethys said puzzlingly. "Do you require coffee to rouse yourself?" "Yes, now go away until I have coffee," I demanded, but Tethys laughed. "I do not have coffee, but I know of several ways to rouse you from your sleep." Tethys climbed back onto the bed slowly, and he began to nipp and nuzzle my body playfully. I winced as his teeth pinched me unpleasantly. "Ouch!" I hissed harshly, and shoved his snout away from me. Not put off by my stubbornness, Tethys next pulled my sheet off of my body exposing my naked form to him. As he positioned me onto my back with his large hands, I warned him. "Don't even think about it." I ordered, still struggling to keep my eyes closed. "I cannot obey your wishes Lux. Our shift will be starting soon. You must wake up." Tethys was amused by my obstinance, I could tell. "Nope," I disregarded. To my surprise, I felt something wet, and rough wrapping around my sleepy cock. It was waking, so now I was too. Peeking out from under my sleepy lids, I saw the beast which was my bunkmate lapping his thick tongue along my now hardening cock. Pleasure began to pulse throughout my body, and I began to come alive. As I placed one hand on the enormous brute's head, my phone chirped, and a notification appeared on my phone. Peering into the screen to read the notification, I saw the notification was from the Medbay. The message read, `Test results achieved'. "They came back early, Tethys." I gave his broad head a couple of pats, and the Draco removed his tongue from around my cock. "What came back early?" Tethys' eyes widened as he thought about it. "The test results, OUR test results!" I nearly shouted with excitement as I leapt out of bed leaving the Draconian on his elbows where I once laid. "Come on lumberjack! We have to get ready." I rushed into the commode to brush my hair, and apply my hair cream. Once I picked up the odd looking toothbrush, Tethys leaned against the entrance to the commode. His arms crossed, and he soaked up all of my nudity. I mumbled for his urgency as I had the toothbrush cleaning my teeth. My words were muffled through the minty paste, and he slowly sauntered in behind me. One of his large hands squeezed my ass playfully, reminding me that I was still naked. Darting to our room to hastily cloth myself, I kept one hand brushing my teeth. Still sore from Tethys' love bite, I winced as I leaned over the sink to spit out the remaining paste. Like a true sprinter, I quickly swished some water through my mouth, and I only slowed to neatly pull my hair back into a sleek ponytail. Praising Mina's miracle cream, I thanked the gods for a wonderful hair day. I waited impatiently for Tethys by the door as he finished his own grooming needs. "Do you still need this coffee to rouse you Lux?" Tethys asking amusingly at my sudden change of pace. I smiled as I saw Tethys move slowly towards the door. "You should've left the heat lamp on last night. You're pretty lethargic without it, aren't you?" I asked. Tethys hummed in agreement. I merely smiled, and grabbed his forearm as I guided him out into the corridor. The walk to the Medbay was a long one today. Not only was Tethys not moving quickly enough, but I was antsy to get back the results. A small part of me worried that they might not be favorable results. Tethys sensed my nervousness, and merely placed his hand over both of mine as I led him to the Medbay. I glanced up at the sluggish reptilian, and smiled back at him. "We will find a favorable compromise, I'm sure of it." Tethys spoke reassuring words, but I struggled to remain optimistic. If we couldn't even share a bed without detrimentally affecting each other's health, how were we going to be intimate with one another? My thoughts went to the mark that Tethys placed on my shoulder. Would I be okay with this? If we can't be intimate with each other, is there any place for us? Tethys pressed the button on the door panel to open the Medbay doors when we arrived. The familiar blue light scanned us both up and then down. Once it passed over my shoulder, the light flickered red, and a warning buzzed on the Medbay console. "Injury detected," Siri chided from my wrist. "Do you need medical attention, Victor Herring?" Her cold voice inquired. "Um-," I thought for a second. "I don't think so?" I wasn't sure how to address her question. "We came for our test results." My arm lifted to show the notification that I had received from the Medbay earlier. "Draconian and human copulation viability?" She asked. "Are these the results that you are inquiring about?" "Yes," My response hovered between agitation and sarcasm. "Test results inconclusive. Procedure not recommended." Her response was blunt, and unsympathetic. "What do you mean inconclusive? You took blood samples. You can't tell me if we are compatible species or not?" I pressed the issue. "Procedure not recommended; Human and Draconian physicality differs greatly. This may result in many possible injuries. Would you like me to show you the results of each of my simulations, Victor Herring?" I slouched, and removed my grasp from Tethys' forearm. "No," I spoke defeatedly. "What about biologically?" Tethys asked. "Are there any biological factors that have affected your findings?" "Contingent," Siri retorted. "On what?" I asked. "Several bacterial cultures found that suggest minor illness is possible." "Likelihood?" Tethys commanded. "Thirteen percent." I scoffed at her response. "What is the severity of these contingent illnesses?" I asked to reassure myself. "Minor. Not medically necessary to seek treatment." Siri was cold to speak with, nonetheless I sighed a breath of relief. "Query. Does Victor Herring wish for me to treat his injury?" Siri asked again. I couldn't help but smile at Tethys with these findings. "No, I would like to keep this one I think."
