Chapter 11: A Respite

“You know ... I think Meifen might be true on this,” Neo said to the three Shal’rein. “This Icarus Emporium doesn’t have much about it on the UWAN, but it sounds true. Two of the workers were former employees from Genisen research. They turned down an offer to work for Tenix and worked on engine parts...”

“She said that she is coming back for later on this year, right?” Vala’rein asked.

“Yes. She seemed determined of it.”

Neo sighed as he looked at the scene. By now, it was about a couple of hours since the race. Gip’grenda had said her goodbyes as she, her mate, and the rest of the Itrean staff departed on the assault carrier. The audience and other racing staff were mostly gone by now.

The four were a few kilometers from the track. Neo’s bandigara, Serrein’s hoverbike, and Vala’rein’s wheel bike were all parked by a beautiful shade of ice trees. This area was little more than a series of hot springs. Warmed up from the geothermal activity from the planet, this was the closest proximity to a safe and comfortable location. Despite the cold temperatures, this location seemed to be a hidden paradise. It was a place where the edges of the lake had green plant life. Both the trees and alien grass had blue vein protrusions that seemed to use the warm water as a natural way to keep itself from freezing. The furthest spring from the track was chosen. The trees also formed a natural barrier for any potential onlookers. Despite the cold temperatures, the springs felt inviting. Occasional bubbles on the far side of the small spring pool would rise to the surface.

“I guess I understand why the Palorans have their biggest cities near these sorts of springs,” Neo commented. He was not far from one of these edges. While the occasional mild cold breeze would hit, it would mix with the rising warm air that hit the spring. It was close to being as warm as possible.

“Yes,” Cordeina replied. She had just finished up eating as she walked up to Vala’rein’s small compartment to put the trash away. “The springs are so huge and wonderful. People would go to them all the time to enjoy themselves ... much like we will.”

Neo looked at Serrein and Vala’rein that were not far from the pool’s edge. Their feet were propped into the warm water. One thing was for sure. If the water were scolding hot, they wouldn’t have been doing what they were doing. They themselves had just finished up eating as well. The Shal’rein apparently had a series of raw fish-like creatures that the Itrean carrier had left for them. Neo tried to sample some of it, but it had an odd taste. He, instead, had a series of rations that was left for him.

“How are you, my mate?” Cordeina asked him.

“Well enough,” he replied.

The doctor walked up to him. She pulled out her tilons and opened up the display screen. She took a small device and linked it up to the metal rods. She then brought the device close to his body as she was evaluating the data that was displayed for her.

“You’re doing well, despite everything that has happened,” she said.

“All I know is that after being in that water, everything feels warmer now.”

“I need you to drop your pants,” she requested.

“Huh?”

“Just because you went through ice cold water and walked out of it fine doesn’t mean that other things did well. I need you to drop your pants and lower your underwear for me.”

He looked at the other two Shal’rein that overheard the request. Serrein showed a sly look while Vala’rein gave her distinct shark-like smile. He was mostly prepared for the big scene that was going to come up, but he was still trying to get over the fact that this would be recorded and shown throughout the Itreans. This was the only thing that seemed to slow him down.

“Come on ... don’t be shy, my mate,” Cordeina told him.

“Just cold...,” he said.

“Don’t worry. I’ve seen it all...”

“Alright,” he relented. He began to undo his boots. Vala’rein seemed to understand the cue as she nodded her head and started to take her own pants off. Serrein remained as she was.

“I don’t know about you, sister,” Serrein remarked. “But, I think that our mate my have second thoughts about ... as you humans would say... ‘knocking us up.’”

“I’m not having second thoughts,” he countered as he undid his boots. “Just having second thoughts about having it recorded.”

“Ergh...,” she replied as she looked away. She almost crossed her arms. “I admit that I have second thoughts as well.”

“Now, now,” Cordeina said. “We made a promise to the T’rintar clan, and they’re rewarding us for it.”

“I agree with Cordeina,” Vala’rein remarked. “We have to make that promise and enjoy it.”

“Oh, I will enjoy it,” Serrein said. “Just ... without the cameras.”

“Don’t you two get all apprehensive about it,” Cordeina countered. “Neo, I know why you feel about it ... both of you. Being recorded won’t make any difference in sexual performance.”

Neo placed his boots down as he stood up and started taking his pants off. He unbuttoned them as they fell to the ground. The cool breeze was challenging for him but adequate with the help of the hot springs.

“That isn’t completely it,” Neo said. “Just wonder on the fact that I’m going to have trillions of individuals see me bang my ... mates and having it broadcasted ... that’s all.”

“Ugh...,” Serrein seemed to nod in agreement.

Neo dropped his underwear as his penis sprang free from its warm fold. Cordeina seemed happy as she took a couple of fingers and gently grasped his testicles. He could feel two fingers being applied to them but shuddered a little bit as her fingers were cold.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Cordeina remarked. She pulled her hands back and breathed on them to warm them up. “I need to make sure that you have sperm available.”

“I should ... ehm...,” he retracted his response. “Actually ... am I alright?”

“Your body normally reacts to drastic temperature differences rather well. You didn’t suffer extreme long-lasting hypothermia and didn’t have to be brought to the hospital.” She took the device on her tilon and pressed the soft tip to the dangling two slow-spinning orbs. “You have normal testicular retraction from the colder temperatures, which is natural.” She continued to study the data. “You did have a slightly less than expected sperm count average, but ... they appear to be healthy. Congratulations, my mate. You are free to engage in this recording.” She closed up her tilon.

“Remember, my mate,” Vala’rein told him. “You didn’t have an issue with impregnating Cordeina and having that shown on the recordings.”

“I know,” he said. “But ... I know that this will be you and Serrein. Two ... I mean ... three women and one guy in a pool ... everyone will want to watch the great hero racer go and fuck his wives in a porno shoot.”

Cordeina laughed. “I wouldn’t really worry about it. Remember that we are just like you. Plus, you aren’t the only one that is going to have sex with more than one woman ... human and/or Itrean wise.”

He seemed to think about it as Vala’rein started to take off her racing jacket. The peer pressure seemed to work as Serrein relented. She was quiet while she began to go ahead and take off her own clothes. Cordeina only smiled while she began to take off her own clothes.

“I mean ... think about it, Neo,” Cordeina continued. “You think that you are the only one that has more than two Itreans wives? I’m seeing it happen now. You human men are in high demand. You have to play the role of impregnating us and producing the next generation of kin that will be immune to the Zilik’s Disease that we carry. I remember even seeing one man on Cebravis that had four Yutilian mates. They never hesitated as he impregnated each ... one ... by ... one.”

“Heh...,” Neo seemed satisfied to hear about that. He smiled as he started to take off his top layer of warm clothing that was still on. “I suppose that makes sense. How do you know that?”

“Hmm ... I was there to help them out. They went and did a whole live recording, and yes ... the man did have the same comment that you did. He was worried that he was ... umm ... camera shy. His performance was a little bit challenging, but it’s understandable too. Having to get four females to be pregnant all at once is quite a demand. I was called to help participate and assist in it. That’s why I’m always interested in any future research that can help ... encourage sexual performances and ensure that all mateships can survive the rigors of interspecies’ relationships.”

Neo thought about it more and more. Cordeina was right. He shouldn’t have to fear about anything. Even the very notion of the fact that others had polygamous relationships were apparent. He really started to imagine the idea that one man had four wives, all thanks to this alliance.

“Was he able to get all of them pregnant?” he asked her.

She smiled as she could see that he was getting aroused. “He did. I showed the perfect position for it. They all got in a line with their asses and tails pointed straight up, the ‘doggy style position,’ as you call it. He managed to get the first two within less than six minutes ... you know ... those Yutilian and Aksren vaginas just make a male release pretty fast. He did have to take a break, though ... he needed an hour to recover while they all patiently awaited him to give them his seed. They never changed their positions till he continued. There is a nice edited version of it now on the UWAN. I believe in your human pornographic terms; they were in the ‘assembly line formation.’ They all did a wonderful job, and it was one of my biggest thrills in research. All of it done in those beautiful forests in Cebravis.”

Neo couldn’t argue with the concept. His mind naturally pictured how one man could go to each woman and simply do that. It was deeply arousing as Cordeina took her bra off. Her large breasts were there for him to observe. He couldn’t deny that he was growing more and more aroused.

There was a splash behind him that caused him to turn around and look. It was difficult to tell, but it seemed that Vala’rein had taken most of her clothes off and jumped into the warm spring. A little bit of water had splashed onto him. It was warm, but it was quickly becoming cold from the exposure to the partially frigid air. Serrein was taking her time while she still had her pants on. She was topless, however. Her defining muscles could be clearly seen. She gave a sleek but defined smile to him as her mohawked hair danced a little bit.

“What do you say, mate?” she told him. “Time to make sure that you’re ready for the ultimate ride.”

“But can he make it? Does our mate have the will to survive us as we delve our hands upon him?” Vala’rein asked with a couple of clicks in her voice. Her tone was slightly pretentious. She was standing near the midpoint of the spring pool. She was about up to her stomach while she stood in the water. Her grayish skin sparkled from the wet water as her muscles sheened in the overhead sunlight. She started to undo her bra, but her panties were still on. Even her pointy hair remained, despite the wetness.

“At least, I’m already pregnant, so that takes some of the pressure off me,” Cordeina added. She took her panties off as she remained completely naked. Neo looked back to see her great breasts were free in the coldness. She had in her hand at least three of the small crawling camera units. She tapped each one to turn them on. She leaned down to the ground as she let them crawl away from her hand.

“I’m not letting those things on me,” Serrein remarked. She was in the mid-process of unbuttoning her pants.

“They don’t want to be on people unless you program them to.”

It didn’t take long for Neo to take off his jacket and shirt. Before he knew it, he was completely naked and walking towards the pool. The soil was cold for his feet but not overly freezing. The closer that he got to the hot spring, the better. His erection was mostly present for the Vala’rein to admire.

“So, your hink is already available,” she told him.

“Hink? Oh yeah,” he remembered.

“Heh,” Serrein commented. “How many other slang words in U’ck’ck does he know?”

“Let’s see...,” Vala’rein wondered. “Moi’Kresa, joytata, and ferr’ra.”

“Oh, he knows those words?” Serrein turned and gave a profound smile to him. “Just how much have you done with him before I mated him? Did he joytata your chest or your face?”

“What about moi’kresa?” Cordeina asked. “How good is he at pleasuring your moi’kresa?”

“Just don’t ask me about ferr’ra,” Neo remarked. “That is just too much.”

“Ugh...,” Vala’rein showed some disgust.

“Fuck no,” Serrein replied.

“Wow,” Cordeina remarked. “If you were into that, then I might have misjudged you. Only the very few would ever perform a ferr’ra. Of course, now that I have seen the UWAN, then I know that anything is possible. Even you humans are capable of doing it. What was the film called? All I know was that it had some sort of cup and two women in it.”

“Eww...,” Neo said as he shook in place. The four looked at each other and almost seemed to laugh about it as they tried to forget about it.

The moment that Neo’s foot touched the water, it felt golden. It wasn’t too hot, but the cold temperatures that he was used to made it almost feel like it. It was soothing and comfortable once his body realized that it was in a good place. The rocks and soil were smooth to the touch. It was a slow immersion as he enjoyed it.

“Shit, that’s nice...,” he said as he got further and further into it.

“I know, right?” Cordeina replied. She stood fully naked as she climbed into it as well. The water began to soak much of her body. She tried her best to lower herself and sink into it as much as possible.”

Neo felt a sudden sense of euphoria as he admired the scene. Earlier, he had been in a life-or-death situation. Now, he was in a warm pool with three alien women. He couldn’t really argue with such an event. His eyes were transfixed on Vala’rein. She was so beautiful to him. A part of her almost seemed to know it as well. His erection remained at its peak. He opened up his legs as he was near a large enough rock that he could sit on and spread his legs wide.

It didn’t take long for him to feel the drastic temperature changes. Below it was lukewarm. Above, the skin that was wet would feel the cold breeze of Palora’s temperature. Thankfully, the fact that his body was mostly submerged counteracted any ill effects of the climate.

“Ugh...,” Neo remarked. “God, that feels so good...,”

“It is,” Vala’rein commented. “Good choice, Cordeina.”

“Thank you,” she replied. She watched as Serrein had been stepping into the pool. She was fully naked and showed a mild enthusiasm for the comfortable temperatures.

“After we do all this, I don’t want to go anywhere,” Neo said.

“I feel like moving to here,” Cordeina added.

Vala’rein gave a smug look at her and shook her head in disagreement. She instead continued to move forward towards Neo. It caused him to continue remarking upon her incredible frame. Muscle or not, she was lovely. Her panties, however, were still on.

“Oh...,” Cordeina said as she reached over the edge to grab her tilon. “I forgot something. Music ... we could use some music. What would be a good theme?”

“Pretrerein,” Serrein said. “Would be good for this.”

“Hmmm,” she seemed to consider it. “Alright.” She opened up her tilon and began to look into her files. She quickly found it and started to play it.

The music from her tilon was what could have been considered soft-core rock music. This included the use of seashells as horns and something else for drums. She kept the volume low so that it wouldn’t drown out the moment.

Vala’rein stood over Neo as she gave a contentious smile at him. A part of him also responded in earnest. She was still wearing her panties while she kept her hands perched onto her hips. Her tail would splash against the surface. She seemed to give a domineering persona as if she knew that she was in charge of everything.

Serrein had gotten close as she displayed her rows of razor-sharp teeth. She almost crawled on the rocks. Her mohawk almost even looked like a fin while she remained low in the water. Cordeina, in all her naked glory, watched from the edge, with her hands perched outward. Her enormous breasts were there for him to see. She remained a little bit distant on purpose and instead watched the entire scene with a scent of desire and joy.

Serrein was just about to get close to Neo. She seemed hungry and was looking at the bitten marks on Neo’s shoulder and upper chest area. She was about to open her mouth when Vala’rein held her hand up to tell her to stop momentarily. Instead, the spikey-haired Shal’rein placed her muscular-looking stomach towards Neo’s mouth. His hands naturally began to caress her almost six-pack abs as they traveled up to her breasts. The feel of her warm, smooth, and slick scale-like skin felt inviting.

“I love you,” he told her.

She closed her eyes as she gave a fine reaction to his actions. “I know you do, my mate,” she replied back.

The camera bots were walking into different positions around the pool. They seemed to be doing their best to stay out of the scene too much. Another one went into the water to find a perfect spot to record everything that was happening under the water. They were so obscure that Neo quickly forgot about them. It felt comforting as having a camera crew to record the whole thing would only further aggravate the set of events.

Vala’rein turned around and lifted her tail up. The warm water splashed on Neo’s face as he had a pleasant view of his wife’s ass. The thick and silky-like piece of underwear was barely enough to cover the soaked image of the vaginal slit that was underneath. She even shook her butt just a little bit to make sure that he wasn’t losing focus. Her head turned in his direction.

“What are you waiting for?” she asked with a hint of mild excitement on her face.

Serrein was patiently waiting as Neo reached up to his hands. His fingers delved into the elastic strap as it pulled it down slowly. Her firm ass had little hope of holding onto it. In his view, he could watch as the pink panties fell down to reveal her long vaginal slit. He almost couldn’t resist taking one of his fingers and playing with her anus before trying to bring it down to her moist cavity below it. His other hand successfully pulled it all the way down. She lifted both of her webbed digitigrade legs out of the water to allow the underwear to be discarded towards the edge.

With that, Vala’rein gave a slight hand gesture towards Serrein. She gave a deep smirk and grin as she knew that she could have her way. Quickly, the scrapper-like sister delved her hands onto Neo. She gave a look of passionate hunger from her face as Vala’rein slowly got onto the other side of the smaller human. There was no doubt about it. As much as he was enjoying it, he was in their territory. The Shal’rein could never be challenged in the water. Their enormous strength and great affinity to the water simply made them impossible to stop. Neo had to enjoy the moment, which he did, but he also knew that it came with a price.

Serrein was the first to open up her jaws. Her row of serrated teeth was easily seen. She quickly bit down onto Neo’s right side. He cringed a little bit as he held one arm to cradle her neck. By now, he was more than used to this form of aggressive act. A part of him, however, didn’t mind it. After the day’s events, a bite like this was only a shining example that he was alive. Vala’rein leaned down in the water. She used one of her hands to caress his hair. She gave an aggressive smile as she opened up her jaws and gently bit down on the other side of his shoulder. Vala’rein was always friendlier in her bite. Yes, she could end up drawing blood, but she was more meticulous.

Cordeina remained quiet as she took one of her fingers and brought it to her nether region. She slipped one finger into her vaginal canal and began to caress her insides. Another hand went to her breasts, gently massaging them while not applying too much pressure to them. She already knew where everything was going to take place.

“Eh ... ugh...,” Neo grunted a little bit as he could feel the pressure of the bites on his body. Vala’rein seemed to acknowledge what was happening. She took one hand and gently caressed his back. This form of care was something that naturally caused Neo’s head to tilt towards her snout and face. He almost rested his head on hers and could feel the urge to make love to her then and there.

It was Vala’rein that released her bite first. She only left a set of tiny welts on his skin as before as she turned her head and pressed her lips to his face. This caused Neo to kiss her passionately on the lips for what felt like an eternity. The Shal’rein lips could barely be described as human lips. Like the other Itreans, they probably had their reasons for the shock and awe towards human kissing. However, she, like many of the others, was adapting to this new form of action. The lips were still soft to the touch, much like the rest of the face, but didn’t carry the heavy layer of tissue to cushion the edges. They naturally didn’t have the ability to flex their lips around too much, but it didn’t stop them from trying. Neo quickly made up for the difference as he firmly pressed his lips to hers. Her hand naturally went to his rigid member that was eager to get started. She began to pump it up and down for half a minute. The pleasure felt wonderful to the touch.

“It won’t be me that will be first, my mate,” Vala’rein told him as she released her kiss. She placed one hand on his chin, stood up, and backed away slowly. She gave a quick nod and pat to her sister that had finally released her strong bite. Serrein was the type that had been aggressive as she always was but knew how to be in control. She knew very well that she was being recorded and might have acted differently. Regardless, she did lick his shoulder several times to help out in any form of blood loss. The long-wet tongue was coarse but slick. The shark-like appendage was little more than a fat human tongue by some measure.

She stopped and gave an affirmative and sly smile to him. She used her four fingers to dance with his hair for a short time before she acted like she was going to bite him in the face. Instead, she was playfully acting aggressively towards him, which caused him to smile at her.

“I’m going to get your seed first,” she told him. The voice was not loud but directed towards Neo. “You won’t get the privilege of impregnating Vala’rein, your great beloved. I will have it first. It’s all mine.” She made a couple of clicks in her voice as if she was laughing or mocking him.

“Do your worst,” he mockingly replied to her. It seemed to be a gesture for her that appeased her. Finally, Vala’rein appeared to acknowledge the scene. She had been standing up and was not far. She had her finger to her crotch; her pointer finger was properly playing with the vaginal lips in a valiant effort to pleasure herself.

Serrein decided to take things a little bit differently. Instead of simply climbing onto his lap and waist, she had her back to him. Her tail lightly smacked him as the water splashed onto his face. She then put her hand to her sides as she laid down on him. Her huge towering body would have been heavy for him, but the water naturally made her a little bit buoyant and light. Her legs were splayed open as he had a pleasant view of her nether regions before she rested upon him. Neo’s penis neatly pressed outward between her things and vaginal lips. She would adjust her hips and move her legs around at times. She could feel the hard-rigid member that moved around between her crotch. She seemed to enjoy the moment well as she had control over him. However, Neo was not the sort of person to go down easily. His hands naturally went around Serrein’s body. One of his hands had successfully wrapped around and gripped onto her breasts. His other hand went to her stomach and right hip.

“I’m going to take it all ... and there won’t be any for her,” Serrein antagonized him. She lifted her butt a little bit while the tip of his hardened member began to slip into her. The watery environment mixed with her slick juices naturally made it easy for him to drive deep within her.

“Ah...,” Neo grunted. A similar reaction seemed to come from Serrein. She tilted her head up, causing the back portion of her mohawk hair to land on Neo’s head and face.

The camera bots had fixed positions on the scene. The underwater one had a perfect view from the pool’s depths. It could clearly see Serrein’s legs were splayed open. Neo’s cock was utterly driven deep as it could go, with only his scrotum protruding from the entrance. Serrein reacted in kind by using her legs to begin raising her butt up and down. The base of her tail pressed into Neo’s stomach, but again, her weight was significantly less underwater. The rock that Neo sat upon was firm and never moved.

“Yes...,” Cordeina said. Her central pointer finger played with herself. “Drive it deep within her, my mate. Put your seed within her.” Vala’rein continued to finger herself but remained at a distance.

The pleasure was incredible as it always was. For Neo, however, there was a different feel. He had been used to having sex with Cordeina for a whole week and avoided having sex with Serrein or Vala’rein. This was to avoid getting them pregnant too early. There would be less pleasure that Neo felt, but at the same time, he still had a powerful desire to have sex with them finally. The overall result was different but still the same. Serrein’s vaginal muscles would naturally flex open to let his member fall deep within her. When she lifted up with her leg muscles, the vaginal canal would grip onto his cock like a vice.

The punishing pleasure was one that Neo knew well by now. No wonder Itrean males couldn’t last long in sex. They must have never even had the concept of premature ejaculation as it always seemed to happen. Only the fact that he was used to this did Neo have any hope of surviving from releasing within the first minute.

“Slow down,” Cordeina told Serrein. “We don’t want our mate to release too early, now don’t we?”

“No...,” Serrein replied. She pressed her fin back to his stomach. She paused and leaned onto him. She tried to tilt her head to his. She pressed one of her hands to her breast and began to massage it. The sunlight shimmered from her wet body. Her muscles naturally gave the pristine sheen from it.

“Mmm...,” Neo commented. “Feels so good.”

“You’ve hungered to put your seed within us, my mate,” Vala’rein told him. “How much do you want to get her pregnant?”

“More than anything,” he replied.

“How much do you want with me?”

“Every ounce of my soul.”

“Good,” she said. Her finger continued to dance around her vaginal entrance. There were subtle differences between how Cordeina and Vala’rein fingered themselves. Cordeina had her fingers deliberately going in and out of her. Vala’rein would rub her entrance with her main finger. While she didn’t have a clit, it didn’t matter. Her vaginal fluids were being worked around into her.

Serrein continued her barrage of thrusts. His cock would drive in and out of her. In front of Neo’s perspective, he could watch the two other Shal’rein women. Her tail would bounce and dance around in the water. Once again, Neo could feel like she was milking him for everything that he had. He was doing his best to make it last as long as possible, but it was pretty challenging.

Instead, his view went to Cordeina. It was Cordeina that had the most sympathy and best ideals when it came to sexual intercourse. Her skills were incredible, and her teachings were vital in this case. He had made peace with himself. For human men, trying to delay their orgasm was almost impossible, especially when confronting the Itreans. However, Cordeina had given him advice on ways that it could be delayed just a little bit. There was no shame in it since the Itrean physiology was just so different. Everything about them and their bodies had made them competent love makers. He had started to take a series of deep breaths. It was more than easy since the waters felt so lovely and cozy. Instead of focusing so much on Serrein, he instead imagined the future of his life.

Cordeina could see that Neo was practicing his breathing. He had closed his eyes and imagined living in a home filled with his children. It took a good hectic month, but it was worth it. The thoughts of the past were fading away. The Shal’rein and Aksren clans hadn’t launched their attacks on the UWA. Somehow, he felt that he might have been the many that contributed to it. The video recording that he made in the past and now would convince the enemy that violence wasn’t worth it. It was time to move forward and embrace the changes. Humanity was the cure and, in its genes, was the key for male offspring to be born again. If he was making love and making babies, then it was better than watching the enemy pull out their weapon and shoot him.
