************

I came home a few days after Tairn had the babies. I headed to my bedroom
and laid down on the bed. I closed my eyes for a few moments, and was
nearly scared to death when something large landed on me. My eyes flew
open, and I found myself staring into Kriz's face.

"Don't do that!" I said, slapping his arm.

"Sorry," he replied. "Didn't mean to startle you."

"What are you doing here, anyway?"

"Heard you were coming home today, so I came over to see you."

I settled back down onto the bed, trying to calm my racing heart. "So,
anything in particular you wanted to see me about?"

"Yeah, acutally. And this time it isn't just sex. I've been doing a bit
of reaserch," he told me, "and I've found something interesting. There's
an old Charal law which allows for a Charal to be able to marry a
non-Charal under certain cirumstances."

I stiffened, beginning to see where that was going. "There...is?" I
managed to squeak out.

"Yep," Kriz said. "There are a few things that would have to be done.
Basiclly, the governments of both species would have to be convinced to
recognize the marriage, and a Charal judge would have to be convinced to
give his approval on it, but it is possible. There have been a few such
unions in the past, a few of those being same sex marriages. So that
leaves one question."

"What's that?"

"Mark, will you marry me?"

"Yes," I managed to get out. "If it's possible, yes."

He took me into his arms and we kissed, sealing the deal. Then his hands
started roaming under my clothes, and I soon found myself naked. Kriz
looked over my body, and said, "Man, what a handsome sight," before
quickly stripping as well. Getting on me, he entered me and began
pumping. I don't think I'd ever enjoyed sex as much as I did then,
knowing that we could be be able to spend the rest of our lives together.
He drove his manhood repeatedly into me, and I clutched him, reveling in
the sensation of his hard organ sliding in and out of me. We made love
for nearly 20 minutes. I actually managed to last for almost 15 of those
minutes before coming all over us. Kriz continued to thrust until he
couldn't hold back either, and he let loose with his massive amount of
Charal semen into me.

We laid there, holding each other, saying nothing. After a while, I felt
Kriz's cock get hard within me. "Make love to me again, Kriz," I
whispered to him.

His hips started moving back and forth as he started thrusting into me
once again. I closed my eyes, savoring his cock in me, and all that it
represented. I wanted it badly, wanted him badly. He lasted for a little
while before I felt him come into me again.

"You're just too sexy, that's the problem," Kriz said.

"Oh, you're one to be talking," I replied with a grin, kissing him.

*******

Why my dad got home that night, Kriz and I sat my parents down.

"I think you know about my relationship with your son," Kriz told them.
"I've been doing some reaserch on Charal laws, and have found that it's
permitted for Charal to marry members of other species. I'd like to ask
you for Mark's hand in marriage."

My parents looked taken aback by the request. While they knew we were in
love, and I wouldn't hav been surprised if they suspected about us being
physically involved, they didn't seem prepared for such a request. Not
that I could blame them, of course. I'm not sure I would have been, had
our roles been reversed.

My dad finally spoke. "I'm not sure if our laws allow that. I'll check on
it. You have to rememebr, Kriz, though Mark acts very grown up sometimes,
and is very responsible, he is still a minor by our laws. We will permit
it, but Mark, you are to finish up your schooling. Take a good look at
continuing your education at the university after you graduate from high
school. Be prepared to accept that not everyone might approve of what
you're doing. We're here for you - both of you. But you're also asking to
take part of an adult institution, and as such you'll have to pull your
part like adults."

"Of course," I said.

"We're two people in love," Kriz said, taking my hand in his. "We don't
want any special treatment, just the opportunity to follow our hearts."

"Mark should continue to live here for now, at least until he graduates
from high school," my dad continued. "I suspect that Charal schools
aren't quite set up for human education. I expect that Kriz will be
living at his home for now." Kriz nodded. "After that," my dad continued,
"we can take a look about living arrangements for the two of you."

We talked for a little while longer, before Kriz headed home to talk to
his parents.

*******

My dad did some checking, and while there were no laws on the books
permitting my marriage to Kriz, a quick discussion with the colony
government got a law passed to allow for inter-species marriage (fully
human same sex marriages having been fully legal on Earth and its
colonies for well over two hundred years), though there was still a
minimum age of 15 for marriages of any sort.

Even though my 15th birthday was still months away, planning for the
wedding was in full force. Arangements for how it was to be performed
needed to be worked out, a reception hall procured, a guest list
prepared, Kriz and me outfitted in suits, catering done... I hadn't
realized that so much work could go into a wedding, even one as small as
we were planning.

When school started up, I found it somewhat hard to concentrate. There
were a few whispered glances in my direction, and a few people came up to
me to offer their congradulations. One day, as I was walking to my next
class, Todd fell into step next to me.

"It's not enough that you screw them," he said. "Now ya gotta go marry
one of them?"

"Yeah, I do," I said shortly.

"Hey, I don't mean that in a bad way," Todd said. "Congradulations."

"Thanks," I replied.

*******

Finally, the big day arrived. We'd waited until a couple of weeks after
my birthday, because there had been a teacher development week planned
for both the human and Charal school systems from the previous school
year, and we were getting a week off. Kriz and I would use that week for
our honeymoon. The wedding was set for the Friday before, after school
let out, so that we could get right into things.

Admittedly, I spent so much time gazing at Kriz I don't remember a lot of
what happened during the ceremony. There were words spoken by the person
designated to perform the ceremony. Kriz and I exchanged rings, simple
bands made from intertwined gold and silver mined on Dryser. We exchanged
our vows with the rings, the official pronounced us wed, we kissed, and
there was applause from the attendees. The reception was held an hour
afterward. This part was the larger gathering, where people who weren't
family or close friends (who were at the wedding itself) of ours came to
offer their congradulations. Even those like the Charal who Kriz bedded
when he was in heat, Renj Tapna, Rikel, and Tairn (and yes, even Todd)
came to offer their congradulations. And I finally got to meet Kriz's
three older brothers, just before the wedding itself: Rawz, Tinc, and
Harl.

Kriz and I were glad that so many people came, but we were anxious to get
some time alone. Eventually, after what seemed like forever, the last of
the guests left. We gathered up the gifts and left. We'd be staying the
night at my home, before heading out the next day to a secluded spot on
Dryser away from major settlements that was used as a retreat for
honeymooners, mostly Charal.

Entering my bedroom, Kriz shut the door. "I understand," he said, "that
when a human couple gets married, it is customary to consumate the
marriage."

"Yes, it is," I said, a grin forming on my face.

"Well, who am I to argue with customs?" Kriz said, taking me in his arms
and kissing me.

We were quickly out of our clothes, and started making out right there.
We were on the floor in a matter of seconds, and he quickly entered me.
The cock of my beloved began sliding in and out of me. I wrapped my arms
and legs around Kriz. I soon found the carpeting to be abrasive to my
backside, so I gasped out, "Kriz, bed!"

He got the hint, and hoisted both of us up, with his cock still inside
me, and stumbled over to my bed. We tumbled down onto it, and he resumed
slamming his hard organ into me, his balls flopping against me. We laid
there, coupling, flexing in unison. It was almost as if each of us knew
what the other wanted, and we aimed to have the other satisfied. After a
blissful unspecified amount of time, I came, and Kriz wasn't far behind.
We laid there when he finished, his cock going soft, and we savored being
together.

"Mark, I love you so much," Kriz whispered, wrapping his strong arms
around me and pulling me closer to his muscular chest.

"Kriz, I love you so much, too," I whispered back.

We laid there, gazing into each other's eyes for a while, before we
started talking about our hopes and plans for the future. We talked about
who would do what, where we'd live, how we'd handle each other's
holidays, and stuff like that. Kriz got hard again partway through it, so
he thrust into me again until he came again.

We continued our discussion until he got hard yet again. He had me lay on
my side, then got behind me, lifted my leg up, and entered me. As my
innards once again expanded to accomodate his large Charal cock, I was
grateful we were compatable enough to do that. I just couldn't imagine
not being able to have sex with my best friend. He lowered my leg, then
wrapped his arms around me. He nuzzled my neck, and that, combined with
his throbbing erection inside me, caused my own cock to get hard. After a
couple of minutes, he began slowly moving his hips back and forth. I
contently laid there, snuggled up against him as he made love to me. His
purring increased, and moments later he came into me once again. When he
finished, he reached down and began stroking my erection. My body reacted
to the stimulation, and semen squirted out of me.

Several minutes of silence passed after that. Then we got up and quietly
made our way into the bathroom to clean up. Heading back into my bedroom,
we climbed into bed. I laid my head on Kriz's chest, and he wrapped his
arms around me. As I drifted off to sleep, I considered myself the
luckiest guy in the universe.

*******

The honeymoon turned out to be a rather interesting adventure. Kriz had
been the one to make the arrangements, and I didn't know a lot about the
place. Kriz didn't tell me a lot, saying he wanted to get an honest
reaction from me about it. When we arrived and checked in to the palce
where we'd be staying, I got my first sight of the...well, I guess
'resort' wouldn't really be the right word. I guess 'retreat' would
probably be better. It turned out the place was a clothing optional
retreat. While we walked along the path that would take us to our
bungalo, Kriz, grinning, explained that the place was for those who
wanted to "get back to nature," as he put it. There were a very few
people with clothes on, most seeming to be fellow guests who were just
checking in, though most of the rest we saw were as naked as the day they
were born. Most of the couples were heterosexual, though there were a few
same-sex couple, mostly males, there.

I think that the one thing that surprised me was that some couples were
openly making out. "Wow, that really is getting back to nature, isn't
it?" I said to Kriz after the fourth such sighting.

"You'd better believe it," he said with a grin on his face and a twinkle
in his eye.

We arrived at the bungalo, Kriz unlocked the door, and we went in. "I
understand if you really don't want to go around naked," he said. "This
place is based on Charal ideas for honeymooning..." That was as far as he
got, because that's when I dropped my pants.

"Considering what I've been through in the past two years," I said,
"modesty for me has kinda gone out the window. You, on the other hand..."

He wouldn't let a challenge like that go by unanswered. He started
stripping, and I finished. "We make this look good," he said when we were
both through. I headed towards the door, but didn't get to far. He
pounced on me, knocking me to the floor. Scooping me up, he deposited me
on the bed and got on me.

"I'm not ready to share your gorgeous body with the world quite yet," he
said.

He began to nuzzle my neck as we both got hard. His mouth soon made its
way to mine, and we kissed. I'd had one more small growth spurt, and was
now about the same height as Kriz, though certainly not as
muscular...yet. As we were kissing, I once again felt the familliar
sensation of his cock pressing up against my butthole just before its
entrance into me. Sure enough, it promptly slid into me, and I broke off
the kiss to moan.

"Ride me hard, Kriz," I gasped out.

He was only too happy to comply, and the bed actually started rocking
from his thrusting. I pushed downward, enjoying taking his erection into
me. If anything, it seemed bigger and harder than it was the first time
we'd made love almost two years before. Of course, it very well might
have been; if I could go through a growth spurt, who said Kriz couldn't?
Some 10 minutes later, I coated us with my semen, and a couple of minutes
after that Kriz filled me with his.

"You animal," I said humorously.

"I'm just a love machine," Kriz said.

He pulled out, we got cleaned up (besides his cock seeming bigger and
harder, he seemed to have been ejaculating a larger load), and headed
outside for a stroll. We passed a few other people, all Charal, and all
naked. I could see a few of them glancing out of the corner of their eyes
at me. I was probably the first naked human some of them had seen, at
least up close. Being naked didn't bother me as much as I'd though. I
guess being naked at the 'act', during the Y'Kor'Tiz'aaaa occupation, in
the showers at school, and in front of Kriz, Tairn, Rikel, and Mike many
times had gotten me used to the idea. I must confess that I stole a few
glances at some of them myself.

I reached out and took Kriz's hand in mine. He looked at me and smiled,
and I smiled back. He was quite the guy, and I was glad I had fallen in
love with him. We walked for about a half an hour before coming upon a
small pond. Sitting down next to it, Kriz put his arm around me. We sat
there for a while.

"Hey, this remind you of the second time we did it?" I said.

"Yeah," he said, looking down. I glanced down, and saw his erection
jutting out. I reached over and started stroking it. Kriz grinned, and
started purring. After a while, I laid down and spread my legs apart.

"Now, who wants some human boy butt?" I asked.

"You sure you want this?" he asked. "Here? Now?"

"Yep," I replied.

"But what if someone else comes?"

"Hey, wouldn't be the first time someone's seen the two of us having sex.
Wouldn't be the second time, either. Wouldn't even be the third time, if
you count the time Mike walked in on us when I was sucking your cock."

Grinning, Kriz got on me and drove his cock into me. We laid there,
coupling and enjoying the experience immensely. His seed soon filled me.
He pulled out, then moved down and started licking my cock and balls. I
moaned in pleasure as his coarse tongue worked my crotch over. My own
semen soon squirted out, and Kriz lapped it up. He then quickly washed
off and laid down next to me.

"That was great," I said.

"Oh, yeah," he said.

"You sure know how to please a guy," I told him.

"I should," he replied. "I've been sexually active a lot longer than you
have. It's why I'm kicking myself over blowing my top at you when you
were making out with Tairn. I'm not one who should be getting upset at
others for having sex when I haven't exactly been living a life of
chastity myself the past 6 years."

"So there were others besides me, Renj and the guy you knew from school?"
I asked.

"Yeah," he said. "I think I've had sex with about 20 different people
total. Renj was the first, of course. He's a friend of Tinc, and was
almost like another older brother, we were that close. So it seemed
natural to ask him to bed me when the time finally came for me to go into
heat. I went into heat a couple of weeks after my tenth birthday." Kriz
laughed. "It was his first time receiving, and even though he's six years
older than I am, I think he was as nervous as I was when we were waiting
for it to finally happen! We had sex several times after that. Most of
the others were one time kind of things with friends my age; when we were
horny and together, it seemed natural to fool around. I even tried it
with a couple of girls a few times when I was 12, which is where I began
to suspect that I liked guys instead of girls. Sex with a friend's older
brother several times settled it with me, and I've been making out with
guys ever since."

"A loss to the girls," I said.

"But a gain for you, right?"

"Well, I wasn't going to mention that, but..." I said, grinning. "So,
when do Charal males go into heat, anyway?"

"Mostly between the ages of 9 and 12," Kriz said. "Sometimes sooner,
sometimes later."

"Do they always do it with someone else who's young?" I asked.

"Mostly," Kriz said. "It's a bit more comfortable to know that when it
finally happens, we'll be with someone who went through it not so long
ago themselves. Plus, youth tend to be a lot more available than adults,
who have jobs and families of their own to attend to, and might not be as
available in the immediate future as someone closer in age to the person
in heat. Mostly, the person selected tends to be around 5 years older
than the person soon to be in heat, though that's not always the case,
and is often selected years in advance. Most often it's someone who's
somehow a friend of the family, like if the parents of both boys were
friends for years, or if he's a friend of an older brother of the boy
going into heat, or an older brother of a friend of the younger boy.
Every once in a great while he's a family member, like a cousin. Even
heard of a couple of cases where the older boy was a brother of the
younger boy."

I mentally shuttered. Mike was a great guy, but I couldn't imagine being
sexually active with my own brother. It just seemed...wierd, somehow.
Soon Kriz was hard again, and I bent over his crotch and took him orally.
He purred and squirmed as I contently sucked his large cock. I could do
that for hours, I decided as I laid there between his muscular legs, his
hard male organ throbbing in my mouth. But of course Kriz couldn't last
for hours, and after about 20 minutes his semen gushed out of his cock
and into my mouth, running down my throat and out of my mouth, all over
his crotch. We washed up, and laid back down under a tree. I put my head
on his chest, so that I could hear his heart beat, and he put his arms
around me. It was all very romantic.

But of course nature took its course, and after about 40 minutes we were
hard again. I got onto my hands and knees, and wiggled my butt at him.
"Come and get some," I told him.

He got behind me and entered me, burying his cock all the way to the
hilt. He grabbed my hips and began thrusting. I began rocking back and
forth, my butt and his hips meeting partway as he drove his erection into
me repeatedly. His balls flopped against me. My own cock and balls
flopped up and down. Soon, the pleasure of coupling with Kriz once again
caused my semen to squirt out of my cock. He didn't last much longer,
coming a couple of minutes after I did.

That was when we realized we weren't alone. We both glanced over, and saw
a Charal couple sitting arm in arm nearby. I wondered how long they'd
been there. "Didn't want to interrupt," the male called out. "My wife and
I like this spot a lot, and come here often, but you two were having so
much fun together we didn't want to break it up."

"Not a problem," Kriz replied, pulling out of me and standing up.

"Please, you can stay here," the male said, gesturing for us to remain.
As we hesitantly sat down, he said, "By the way, you two wouldn't by any
chance happen to be the human and Charal who just married each other,
would you?"

"Yes, we are," Kriz said. "I'm Kriz Tranum. He's Mark Andrews."

"I'm Bans Gisling, and this is my wife, Kryli. So, you haven't decided
whose last name to take yet?"

"Not yet. We're actually kind of considering taking the hyphenated name
route." I smiled and nodded, though we actually hadn't given the issue
any real thought at all. Charal heterosexual married couples, like
humans, generally took on the male's name, and for both human and Charal
gay married couples, the process was almost random, though mostly the
older male's name wound up being the one taken on by the couple. I had to
admit that "Mark Tranum" did have kind of a nice ring to it.

"Forgive me if this sounds bold, but thinking of having kids, if it's
possibe?" Krylie asked

"Maybe," Kriz said, "though if we could it would definately be a few
years before we started a family. I'm sure being pregnant might not make
me too agreeable."

I blinked a couple of times over that. Of course Kriz would in all
likelyhood be the one to carry the fetus if we were to have kids, since
he did have the necessary equipment for it, so I don't know why I hadn't
considered that before. I'd heard somewhere once that back when gay
marriages were first being legalized on Earth, an idea was briefly
considered that might make it possible for a male to be pregnant, by in
vetro fertilization and inserting the zygote into a location in the
male's abdomen in an area with a lot of blood vessels that could be
adapted to serve as a sort of umbillical cord. The baby would have to be
delivered via C-section, since human males didn't have the necessary
internal setup for a birth by any other means. The idea had been
considered risky (since there was no guarantee the fetus would take hold
and not be rejected by the surrogate mother's immune system), but
feasable, but had soon been dropped because the medical community at the
time hadn't felt the risk was worth it.

We chatted for a while with the Gislings before parting ways. When Kriz
and I were leaving, I noticed Kryli straddling her husband, and the
momentary glimpse of his erection before she went down on it clued me in
as to what they were doing.

*******

We enjoyed being together the rest of the week, taking in the sights,
having meals together, seeing some shows, and yes, having sex (we were,
after all, two teengage boys). Most of the sex was in the privacy of our
bungalo, though we did do it a few times outside of the bungalo in
various locations. I think the strangest one was where we went out to
dinner one evening, and after we'd eaten, and the dishes had been cleared
off the table, Kriz began kissing and fondling me. I was hard in seconds.
He put me up onto the table, and had me lay down. My butt was right at
the edge of the table (which conveniently turned out to be at just below
waist height for Kriz); my heels were perched at the edge of the table,
and so my legs were up and spread apart. Kriz got into position and
entered me, thrusting slowly, with his hands on the table. I managed to
loosely wrap my legs around his waist as we coupled. A waiter came by and
put a small pillow under my head and a couple of washcloths and a basin
full of water one on of the chairs, winking at me; Kriz didn't even
adjust his rythm.

So there we were, me laying naked on my back on a table in a public
restaraunt, with Kriz standing between my legs, equally naked, with his
cock sliding in and out of me. He seemed to be in no hurry as he thrust.
My hard cock slapped lightly against my torso as Kriz's cock moved in and
out of me; because of my growth spurts my cock and balls were much bigger
than they were the first time Kriz and I had sex, and for that I was
grateful. If I had to be showing off my hard cock and balls to the world
like I was right then, with nothing covering me as I was getting screwed
by a very horny Charal with no sense of modesty, with other people
nearby, at least I'd have something good and big to show off.

At least, I noticed, we weren't the only ones doing it in the restaraunt.
Several other couples were having sex as well (though none as noticable
as we were; most couples making out were at tables along the dimly lit
wall, while we, as fate would have it, were nearly in the middle of the
dining area), which explained the pillow, washcloths and water so quickly
provided by the waiter; sex was apparently a common (and acceptable)
occurance there. A few others nearby, smiling, were politely and
discretely watching us couple, perhaps getting an idea or two for their
own trysts later on.

Kriz continued his slow thrusting for almost a half an hour. Neither of
us had ever lasted that long before, and I was amazed by it. I could have
kept going all night, but a waiter came by and quietly said, "Gentlemen,
we'll be needing this table soon." Kriz nodded, and started picking up
the pace. Kriz's purring soon increased, and I was filled with his semen.
As his cock softened, his tail snaked around and started stroking my cock
and balls. I couldn't hold out very long, and I was soon coated in my own
semen. I sagged, my legs slowly unwrapping from Kriz, spent after what
had just happened. There was some scattered applause from a few of the
tables nearest us. Kriz pulled out and started washing up, and I quickly
followed suit.

We left, hand in hand, aglow from the experience. Who would have thought
that openly having gay sex in a public restaraunt could bring two people
already in love closer together? Arriving at the bungalo, we went in and
climbed into bed together. Holding each other close, we slept, enjoying
each other's company.

*******

Epilogue:

It's been three years since Kriz and I got married. I wish I could say
every moment was bliss, though we've had our share of arguements, just
like any other couple. My parents have been busy as well. A couple of
months after Kriz and I returned from our honeymoon, my mom announced she
was pregnant again, and seven months after that she gave birth to a baby
boy, that my parents named Tristan. He's a cute little fellow, and
absolutely adores both his brothers and brother-in-law.

Since my marriage to Kriz, there have been three other human/Charal
mariages, all heterosexual, though I hear from some good sources that
there's a 14 year old human boy who's been getting cozy with a Charal
male. Mike's still sexually active with his girlfriend, and is seriously
considering marrying her. He's considering going to the retreat Kriz and
I went to on for his honeymoon after I told him about what we did there
(he was especially amused about how we had sex in the restaraunt). Todd's
still making out with the girl who made a move on him after his
participation in the 'act'. Yorrin and Tairn finally got married, and
Tairn had another baby a couple of months ago, another boy, named Valan.
I got to be in the delivery room again to watch the baby come out of his
cock. Rikel also got married to his girlfriend, and they're expecting
their second child.

We still don't know if it's possible for humans and Charal to have
offspring together. Mike's sexual activities would suggest that nothing
short of genetic engineering will permit a human and a Charal to have a
kid together, though Kriz admits that it can sometimes be hard to get a
Charal female pregnant, even for a Charal male, so Mike's bedroom
exploits might not be the final word on the subject.

The Kokoni Embassy's been made a lot more secure now. Tatch is looking to
follow in his father's footsteps. He's already assisting his father in a
variety of diplomatic capacities.

Both Kriz and I have graduated from our respective high schools. Kriz is
in his third year at the Charal university. I'm looking forward to
starting up in the human university; we're both working part-time. We've
got our own little apartment; fortunately, the other tenants around us
keep different hours than we do, so our lovemaking doesn't usually
disturb anyone. (If you've never had a hard, throbing Charal cock inside
you, you don't know what you're missing out on.)

What's in store for the future? Well, nobody's figured that out yet.
We'll only know when we get there.

THE END

Author's note:

First off, if you've stuck with the story this long, please accept my
most sincere thanks. (*sniff* You like me! You like me! You really,
really like me!) Hopefully, you've had as much fun reading it as I've had
writing it.

So you may be wondering just why the heck I decided to end the series
here and now, after all of a whopping dozen total installments.
Admittedly, while I did have several things I wanted to see happen in the
series (Todd suddenly finding himself the human representative after
giving Mark such a hard time about it, for example, was planned very
early on), there came a point in which I just plain ran out of practical
ideas that could logically be worked into the story, and I began to
suspect that the if I were to continue with the series, it would become
just one long screwfest, going from one description of Mark getting some
to another, and that's something I wanted to avoid (though I'm sure there
are some readers who might - quite understandably - say that the Dryser
series was just one long screwfest to begin with, with a few small plots
thrown in to give Mark some time to get to his next sexual encounter).

There are other ideas that I've had for stories that I'd like to devote
my time to in the future. Those of you who'd like to be alerted whenever
I have something else posted on Nifty, or who'd like to know what else
I've already written, can e-mail me at forcewielder2000@yahoo.com, and
I'll be sure to drop you a line, letting you know the story name and the
section it's been posted in by the Nifty Archivist.
