                               Six
   Peabody  woke the next morning with Lan's arms wrapped  around
him. He could feel Lan's large erection pressing against him  and
he  smiled.  He  could smell coffee and Lin  wasn't  in  bed.  He
assumed Lin had made coffee. He rolled over so he was facing Lan.
   "Good morning."
   "Good morning, beautiful! Did you sleep well?"
   "I slept great! Usually it takes me hours to fall asleep."
   Lin  walked over and said "That may be partly due to  the  low
gravity. We should turn on the artificial gravity."
   "OK."
   "It will come on slowly. Why don't you lie down?"
   "Gravity on," he said.
   Peabody sank slowly into the bed.
   "Are you hungry, beautiful?" Lan asked him.
   "Yes, I am."
   "I will make your breakfast. What would you like?"
   "What do you have?"
   "Just about everything."
   "How about scrambled eggs, hash browns, and biscuits?"
   "Do you want any meat?"
   Peabody  glanced down at Lan's large erection. He was sure  he
blushed, but Lan didn't seem to notice.
   "Hmm. Bacon."
   "Coming  up." Lan got out of the bed and Peabody watched  him.
Lan's erection pointed straight out from his body.
   "Damn,  you  are  hot,  Lan!" Lan was  thrilled  that  Peabody
wanted him.
   "You,  too, Peabody. You did this, you know." Lan ran a finger
along the length of his erection. "This is yours."
   Peabody closed his eyes and sighed.
   Lan laughed and said "Food first, then sex, if you want it."
   "Oh, I want it. I want you."
   "Would you like coffee, Peabody?" Lin called out to him.
   "Definitely.  I need coffee in the morning." Lin  walked  back
towards the kitchen. Peabody saw that Lin was erect, too.
   "How many eggs should I make for you?"
   "I guess one a day."
   Lan  turned around and took Peabody in his arms. He kissed him
while  Lan's  three  upper hands stroked  and  caressed  Peabody.
Peabody moaned. He didn't want it to end.
   Lan pulled away and Peabody gulped.
   "And how many chicken eggs?"
   "Three."
   Lan walked to the kitchen.
   Peabody went to the dresser and got a pair of shorts.  He  put
them  on and went to get coffee. Lin was sitting at the table  in
the kitchen. He handed Peabody a mug with coffee. Peabody took it
and added cream. He took a sip.
   "This is good coffee!"
   "How do you feel?" Lin asked him.
   "Great. Happy. That's unusual for me."
   "We  are  all  going  to try to keep you  that  way."  Peabody
smiled at him as he sipped his coffee.
   "Do  you  think  you  would like us to sleep  with  you  every
night?  Please be honest, Peabody. You can sleep by  yourself  if
you prefer."
   "I slept great. I was comfortable and I felt safe."
   "How about the temperature?"
   "It  was  fine. You were both much warmer than a blanket.  How
about  you, though? Were you hot? We can lower the temperature  a
few more degrees at night."
   "As  long  as  you  won't be cold, that would  be  fine.  What
daytime temperature do you prefer?"
   "Seventy degrees is fine. If you need it cooler, I can  always
put on more clothes."
   Lan  called  out,  "No.  We  like you  without  any  clothes."
Peabody laughed.
   "There  is  something  I need to say. It  is  difficult,"  Lin
said. He paused and then continued "Because of your condition,  I
do not think you should..."
   "Drink alcohol?" Peabody finished.
   Lin  stared at him before saying "That is remarkable. Are  you
telepathic?"
   Peabody  laughed and said "My doctor says it to me every  time
he  sees  me. Actually, he says it more than once, every time  he
sees  me.  Since  you  are my doctor now, I expected  it.  But  I
already  decided to give it up. Maybe we can donate my  expensive
wine to alcoholic orphans."
   "It  won't hurt to have a glass with meals. I must tell you  I
am relieved. I was afraid you would hate me for bringing it up."
   "No.  I didn't hate him for it. It was his job. The thing was,
he wanted to keep me alive and that wasn't particularly important
to  me. As a matter of fact, I drank partially because it was bad
for me. I don't feel that way anymore." Peabody smiled at Lin and
Lin smiled back.
   "I  don't know how much human psychology you know, but I am an
introvert. Drinking helps me be more outgoing. But I don't  think
I  need help around you and Lan. Being around you relaxes  me.  I
mean, I slept with two naked aliens last night and I was calm and
happy!"
   "I  am  so  happy,  my love. It made two naked  aliens  happy,
too."
   Lin displayed of clocks on the wall.
   "I  like that one." It was minimalist,. It only had hands, and
bars where the hours would be.
   "How big?"
   "I  guess  it  needs to be big to see across the entire  room.
Try three feet."
   "How many do you want?"
   "One  in  here and one in the main area by the door,  will  be
fine. The one in here can be smaller, of course."
   "It's nine thirty? I slept late!"
   "You had a busy day yesterday."
   "That's  true. I went to Mars, I got pregnant, I went back  to
Earth, then I travelled back to Mars. All in one day!"
   Lan  brought  three plates of scrambled eggs, with  bacon  and
hash  browns. One in each hand. "The biscuits will be ready in  a
couple of minutes." Peabody smiled at him and started eating.
   "Wow!  These  are  the best hash browns I  ever  tasted."  Lan
looked pleased. "The eggs are great, too."
   "I plan to cook all your meals. Unless you want to cook."
   "Maybe I can help sometimes." Peabody smiled at Lan.
   Lan was very pleased. He was glad he learned to cook.
   A  buzzer sounded and Lan left to get the biscuits. He brought
them out. Peabody buttered one and bit into it. He thought it was
wonderful. He looked at Lan and saw he was watching him.
   "Excellent!"
   Lan  smiled  and  said "Those are the first  biscuits  I  ever
made."
   "They're great."
   While  they  were  eating, Lin asked "Is  there  anything  you
would like to do today? We can stay here and relax. We can get to
know  each  other better. Or we can show you around. It's  up  to
you." Lin finished, so he took his empty plate into the kitchen.
   "Or I can take you to see Jupiter," Lan said to him.
   Peabody  laughed and said "Wow! You really know how to impress
your date!"
   "I love you, Peabody," he said softly.
   Peabody  smiled at him. He was starting to fall in  love  with
Lan and Lin.
   "I  read  a saying in a cookbook," Lan told him. "It said  the
way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
   Peabody laughed and said, "I've heard that before."
   "Well, I wanted to be in your heart, so I learned to cook."
   Peabody  was  very  touched. "I think it's working,  Lan."  He
reached for Lan's hand and stroked it.
   Peabody  finished eating and Lan took their  plates  into  the
kitchen. Peabody finished his coffee and went to get another cup.
He  followed them into the kitchen. Lin and Lan were loading  the
dishwasher.  Peabody found the coffee maker  and  poured  another
cup.
   "Do you want me to do that?" he asked them.
   They turned around and looked shocked.
   "Hosts don't work," they both said.
   "So I sit around and watch?"
   "No, you do something you would enjoy."
   "Can you imagine Aracatal washing dishes?" Lan asked Lin.
   "We  would  have  had to explain what a sink  is."  They  both
laughed.
   He  watched Lin pick something up with his fifth and and  hand
it to one of his other hands.
   "I  just thought of something. Do you only sleep on your sides
because of your tail?"
   "Mostly.  We  can  sleep  on  our backs,  but  it  isn't  that
comfortable."
   They finished and Peabody sat on one of the recliners.
   "Oh, lord, this is comfortable."
   "We are glad you like it."
   "Would you like to go on a tour of our home?" Lin asked.
   "Yes, that sounds nice."
   First  they walked through the brother's quarters. Pon was  in
his room.
   Lan  placed  a hand on Peabody's shoulder and said,  "Pon,  we
are giving Peabody a tour."
   "How  are  you  finding Mars, Peabody?" Peabody watched  Pon's
cock begin to stiffen and grow...and grow...and grow.
   "Oh, my lord! You are as big as Lan!"
   Pon  smiled  at  Peabody and said "Lan and I  share  the  same
parent, as well as host. If it bothers you, I can put on pants."
   "No, I can't say it bothers me. Actually, it's reassuring.  It
lets  me  know how you feel about me. It certainly makes me  feel
welcome." Not to mention being great eye candy, he thought.
   "Peabody, I assure you, we all are thrilled you are  here.  We
waited  so long to find a host. We would have been happy to  have
anyone at all. You are really gorgeous."
   Peabody  couldn't  really doubt what he  was  saying  when  he
could see he was giving him an erection. He said "Thank you, Pon.
I've  got  to  tell you, I never felt as comfortable around  most
humans as I do around you and your brothers. I have no idea  why,
but I'm glad of it."
   "I  hope you won't take offense, but you don't seem like  most
humans. Most of them screamed when they saw Lin."
   "All of them," Lin corrected him.
   "I  don't know what to say to that. Maybe you needed a science
fiction loving, gay man who has a thing for hairy males."
   Pon smiled at him and said, "I'm very glad it was you."
   "Me, too."
   "Pon  created the cavern you can see from your room," Lin told
him.
   "It's absolutely beautiful, Pon."
   "I would love to show you the cavern, if you are interested."
   "I would like that very much."
   "Do you want to do it today?" Pon asked.
   "That's fne with me."
   They  walked to the next room which was Ban's. Ban  was  happy
to  see  him.  Peabody  knew he was happy,  because  Ban's  penis
immediately grow erect. A little fluid began dripping out of  the
end. Ban's dick looked even more human than Lin's or Lan's.
   Ban  was very happy Peabody was looking at his prick. He hoped
Peabody would do more than look soon.
   "Hi, Ban. How are you?"
   "I'm fine, Peabody. Is everything to your liking so far?"
   "Yes, thanks."
   "We  are giving Peabody a tour. Would you like to show him the
power generators?" Lin asked him.
   "Yes. Would you like to go now?"
   "OK."
   Ban  followed them out of the room. The power generators  were
below  them  and  they walked up to a ladder.  "There  are  seals
between some levels to slow air loss if there is a breach.  Climb
down  the  ladder as though the seal is not there. It will  allow
you to pass."
   "Peabody went through a seal when we showed him the gym,"  Lin
said.
   Peabody  followed  them down the ladder. Passing  through  the
seal  felt  odd but wasn't unpleasant. He thought it was  like  a
sphincter.  It was a long way down, but the gravity was  low.  It
wasn't at all difficult.
   They  walked  into an enormous room, although it wasn't  tall.
"We have a primary fusion reactor and two backup systems. One  of
the  backups  is  far  from here in case, in case  a  catastrophe
strikes  this area." Peabody thought about asking why they  lived
above  the reactors if a catastrophe could take them out, but  he
figured they knew much more about it than he did.
   Peabody  had no interest in power generation, but he was  glad
to  know  there  were backups. Being trapped underground  without
power didn't seem fun. Other than that, it was a very large  room
with  big  metal boxes with lights and wires going out one  side.
The  walls  were pretty, though! He thought Ban's cock  was  much
more interesting.
   Ban was delighted when he realized Peabody had no interest  in
generators,  but  considerable interest in  him!  Every  time  he
stopped  talking, Peabody looked at his prick. Once he looked  at
it  and smiled! That was exactly how a perfect host should be, in
his  opinion.  The  brothers should take care of  the  mechanical
things  and  do the work, and the host should take  care  of  the
brothers and the children.
   "Lin,  you  said you sold technology to Earth. Have  you  sold
fusion technology?"
   "No  country has been willing to pay what we are charging  for
it. Do you want us to sell it to them for less?"
   "I have no idea. I am definitely not qualified to say."
   "There  are four technologies which we have priced very  high.
These  are  faster than light travel, artificial gravity,  faster
than  light communications, and fusion, although fusion  is  much
cheaper than the other three."
   Peabody  could see Ban was watching him with what  he  thought
was  a  hungry  look. Peabody didn't know what  to  say  or  even
whether  he ought to say anything. He decided to smile  and  that
seemed  to  please Ban. He thought Ban was quite  attractive.  He
also thought Ban had a nice smile.
   Ban  couldn't  decide whether he ought to try to arrange  time
alone  with Peabody or give him time to adjust. He seemed  to  be
adjusting  much more quickly than they expected. Who  would  have
thought  that  the day after he met them, he would  be  eyeing  a
third   brother's  prick  after  already  satisfying  two   other
brothers?
   "Since  you have the technology for faster than light  travel,
do you plan to eventually go home?"
   "We  ended up in this galaxy by accident. The engine  exploded
in  hyperspace. It would take hundreds of years to return to  our
home world. If we can create a successful colony on Mars, we will
be happy," Ban said.
   They continued the tour. The air plant was above them. It  was
a  room with more boxes. He was expecting everything to look more
sci-fi-ish, so in that sense, he was disappointed. Peabody passed
on seeing the water and sewage recycling plant.
   "Is  air  brought from the surface and changed  in  here?"  he
asked.
   "Yes.  There  are two vents which run alongside  the  corridor
the  shuttle  uses.  One carries Mars air to  us  and  the  other
carries  breathable air to replace what is lost when the  shuttle
arrives and departs."
   Peabody was getting a little discouraged. He thought it was  a
nice home they'd built, but it was very small. The only place you
could  actually walk was the corridor from the shuttle. He didn't
think  he  would  ever want to walk around fusion reactors,  even
though that room was very large. He was beginning to wonder if he
was  going to go 'stir crazy'. He wasn't claustrophobic,  but  he
was  used to having space. He could watch pictures of the Martian
surface,  but that was from his quarters. He was used to  walking
when  he  wanted to think, or even to pass the time.  He  enjoyed
sitting  in  the  park, watching the animals and  kids  play.  Of
course,  he realized, he would have something he didn't  have  on
Earth.  Actually, several things: people who loved him,  possibly
kids,  and  a  lot  of  sex. He looked at  Ban's  erection.  Yes,
definitely  a  lot of sex, he told himself. As  much  sex  as  he
wanted. He decided he would try to make the best of it and  focus
on what he was gaining.
   "I think I'd like to see the cavern," Peabody said.
   They walked to Pon's room but he wasn't there. Lin called  him
on the comm system and they waited for him.
   Lin said, "Peabody would like to see the cavern now."
   Pon's eyes lit up.
   "You  should get a coat or a sweater. The temperature is about
thirty four degrees Fahrenheit."
   "Is the ground wet?" he asked Pon.
   "Not on the path."
   Peabody  got dressed in jeans, a flannel shirt, tennis  shoes,
and his coat.
   "Let's go!"
   They  walked  down the corridor to a door Peabody hadn't  seen
before.  Pon  opened the door and there was a ladder  mounted  on
rock  with a hole in the ground. The hole had the same sphincter-
like seal he'd seen before.
   "Let me go first," Pon said.
   Peabody  went  down the ladder after him. In the low  gravity,
it  was  extremely simple. Peabody guessed they  descended  about
thirty feet, but thought it was hard to say.
   "We can install an elevator, if you like."
   "Not for that short distance. The exercise will probably be  a
good thing."
   They  walked down a narrow hallway which ended in a small rock
sided room with two doors. "Emergency equipment and supplies  are
through  that door," he pointed. "And the other door is the  door
to  the  cavern. I will turn the lights up first." There  was  an
ordinary looking dimmer switch on the wall.
   "Ready?"
   "Definitely!"
   Pon  opened  the door. There was a rock wall in front  of  the
door.  The  path turned to the left and then to the right  around
the wall. The cavern was dimly lit, but there was light enough to
see  well. There was a textured rock path. There were stalagtites
hanging from the ceiling. Most of them seemed yellowish, although
Peabody  thought that may have been the lighting. He reached  out
his  hand  and  felt raw Martian rock for the  first  time.  They
walked  along the path. The cavern was long and narrow.  In  some
places there were pools of water at the base of the walls.
   "Do   you  lose  air?  I  assume  the  water  is  coming  from
somewhere."
   "The  seeps were losing a lot of air. I decided it didn't make
sense  to  keep producing new air in here, especially if  no  one
uses  it.  So  I sealed the seeps, except for one. The  water  is
recirculated, although some is lost through cracks in  the  rock.
The  one seep I left allows enough to come in to replace what  is
lost.  I could have just sealed the entire thing and recirculated
all the water, but I wanted to keep it as natural as I could."
   "I agree. It makes it more Martian to me."
   He  saw some rock that looked like it had been worn smooth  by
the  water.  He  wondered why they hadn't heated it,  since  that
seemed  like  it  would be easy. The path curved  and  they  kept
walking until they came to an enormous empty space. Wow! This was
the  cavern!  he thought. He couldn't see the far  wall;  it  was
dark. There were stalagtites and stalagmites. Some of these  were
huge.  Some  had  merged forming enormous  columns  giving  it  a
cathedral  like appearance. Pon pointed out a bench  that  looked
out into the cavern.
   Peabody sat down and said "Pon, it is spectacular! You had  to
seal this enormous area?"
   "Yes. Sealing was not difficult once I gave up on the idea  of
allowing  all  the seeps to remain. Sealing is  actually  a  very
simple  process. You just dump a lot of sealant and it crawls  up
the walls and over the roof."
   Peabody  looked up. The roof of the cavern above him had  been
cleared.
   "The  ceiling  above the path has been cleared to  reduce  the
risk of anything falling on one of us in a quake."
   "Does the path continue?"
   "Yes,  but this is the best view, I think. I plan to heat  it,
but I have been working on other projects."
   "Would  it  be  possible to light this area? I would  like  to
have somewhere I can walk."
   "Yes, of course. I will heat it also. Do you really like it?"
   "Yes.  I  was thinking just before we called you on  the  comm
that  there  was  no  place  to walk.  Everything  is  close  and
compact."
   "You enjoy walking?"
   "Yes. I did it a lot on Earth. Your home is very nice, but  to
be  honest, it seems a little claustrophobic, since I'm  used  to
Earth."
   "Peabody,  this is exactly the kind of thing you  should  tell
us. We are more than happy to do what we can to make you happy."
   "I  thought about walking in the shuttle corridor, but  it  is
monotonous."
   "Absolutely. You want to actually see things."
   "Yes." Peabody smiled at him.
   "You look so much like Lan."
   "We shared the same parent."
   Peabody looked at his erection and asked "Aren't you cold?"
   "No. The fur keeps us quite warm."
   "I meant that," he said pointing at his dick.
   "I'm sorry. Is it bothering you? I should have worn pants."
   Oh, Pon. It doesn't bother me. I..."
   "What, Peabody? What is it, Peabody? Please tell me."
   Peabody laughed, nervously and said, "I like it, Pon."
   Pon  laughed  and  said "Well, I am glad.  It  is  yours,  you
know."
   Peabody  reached out and stroked the soft fur  on  his  cheek.
Pon smiled at him. "May I kiss you?"
   "Yes."  They kissed. Pon wasn't as good a kisser as  Lan,  but
he enjoyed it.
   Peabody  squatted  between Pon's legs.  He  pressed  his  face
lightly into Pon's crotch and sniffed. His own erection throbbed.
   Pon  moaned as he saw Peabody smelling his crotch.  He  spread
his legs.
   Peabody  wrapped his hands around Pon's prick. That  made  Pon
moan again. It looked exactly like Lan's. Then Peabody licked the
head.  Peabody  looked up at Pon. Like his  brothers,  he  seemed
ultra-masculine.  All  of them were tall,  muscular,  and  hairy.
Their  faces  still  reminded Peabody of cave  men,  but  Peabody
thought they were extremely sexy faces. He wanted one of them  to
fling him over his shoulder and bring him here. To this cave!
   "Oh, Peabody! Peabody, my love!"
   Peabody  took the head in his mouth and sucked on it while  he
rubbed  the shaft. He tasted sweetness and that reminded  him  of
the egg Pon would have.
   "Pon, will your egg impregnate me?"
   "No,  my love. You should already be pregnant. Offspring which
attach  and  start developing produce a chemical  which  prevents
other  offspring from attaching. As long as you are pregnant,  no
other eggs will develop inside you."
   That  was  exactly what he wanted to hear.  He  went  back  to
sucking  Pon.  He got more of the large prick in  his  mouth  and
began  bobbing  on  it. Pon moaned and Peabody tasted  occasional
bursts  of sweetness. He began stroking the shaft with  one  hand
while  he ran the other hand through the fur around Pon's  groin.
He felt Pon's balls and he ran his fingers over them.
   "I am near, my love!"
   Peabody stood up. He undid his pants and pushed them down.  He
knelt and went back to sucking Pon while he jerked himself off.
   "Let me taste you, my love."
   Peabody  stood up and Pon leaned forward and licked  Peabody's
cock.  Pon  wrapped one hand around the shaft and he wrapped  the
other  around Peabody's balls. He tugged on his balls and Peabody
moaned. He began licking and stroking Peabody.
   After  several  minutes, Peabody said,  "I'm  about  to  come,
Pon."
   Pon  opened his mouth. He continued stroking while  he  licked
the  underside of the head. Peabody grunted as his come shot into
Pon's  mouth.  Peabody moaned as his orgasm continued.  Pon  kept
licking  and stroking him. Finally, Peabody pulled away.  Peabody
squatted again and began sucking Pon. He took Pon partially  into
his  throat and sucked while he rubbed Pon's balls. He sucked for
a couple of minutes and then pulled back to admire Pon's cock. He
ran his tongue over it. Finally, he went back to sucking.
   "Ah!"  Pon  moaned as his burst of sweet ejaculate filled  his
lover's mouth. Peabody swallowed it and continued sucking gently.
Pon's   erection  disappeared  and  Peabody  reluctantly  stopped
sucking.
   Peabody  stood  up.  Damn, if their come  doesn't  taste  like
candy, he thought.
   Pon's  senses were in overload. He had the taste of  his  love
in  his mouth and he had just experienced one of the most intense
orgasms he had ever had. He tried to remember whether he had ever
been so stimulated. He didn't think so. He was definitely happier
than  he had ever been. Peabody had given himself freely  to  him
and he obviously wanted Pon.
   "May I kiss you, my love?" Pon asked him.
   Peabody looked at him and saw his face was wet.
   "What's wrong, Pon? Are you crying?"
   "Oh, my love! I'm happy!"
   "Please kiss me, Pon."
   Pon  stood  up and held Peabody. He bent down and pressed  his
mouth  to his love's. They kissed and Peabody decided Pon  was  a
very good kisser.
   Pon pulled away and said, "I love you, Peabody."
   "Pon,  I  think  I am falling in love with all  of  you.  It's
confusing.  I  don't know if I love you because you look  exactly
like Lan to me. That wouldn't be fair to you, so I hope not.'
   "Don't  worry  about it, my love. I never  dreamed  you  would
even  want me. We all thought Lin and Lan would be all you  could
handle."
   Peabody  pulled his underwear and pants back up.  He  supposed
he  ought  to feel ashamed of acting so slutty, but Pon loved  it
and he thoroughly enjoyed it. He decided this was the new normal.
He  was  on  Mars with aliens. What was normal was  bound  to  be
different.  He  sat  back down and then Pon did.  Peabody  leaned
against  him  and  Pon wrapped his arm around him.  They  sat  in
silence  for  a  couple  of minutes. Pon unbuttoned  one  of  the
buttons  on  Peabody's shirt and slid his hand  inside.  He  felt
Peabody's nipple stiffen under his fingers. He pulled on  it  and
Peabody groaned.
   "Yes,  Pon."  That was all the encouragement  Pon  needed.  He
placed  his  other hand on Peabody's crotch and felt him  harden.
Pon was tempted to try and make Peabody come again, but he wasn't
sure  if  it would be welcomed, especially by his brothers.  They
would want to make him come, too. He kissed Peabody again.
   "There is another larger cavern we may use for farming. It  is
actually two separated by a small amount of rock. We will  remove
that  to  make one large cavern. It is also more empty than  this
one.  Getting it ready to be farmed will be a very time-consuming
project."
   "I  can  imagine. How will you make soil? Will plants grow  in
Martian sand?"
   "We  will find that out. Growing hydroponically won't  require
soil,  but  we  want to eventually plant crops in the  ground  if
possible."
   "Does all our air come from the Martian surface?"
   "Yes.  The atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide. It is easy  to
extract  oxygen from it. Extracting enough nitrogen from  Martian
air  is  more time consuming, but we manage. Ban is experimenting
with  ways to extract nitrogen from Martian soil, but right  now,
we  just  collect it from air. We live in a mostly closed system.
The  same  air is cleaned and reused. Filling new areas  requires
creating breathable air from surface air. Even though our  system
is  closed,  there  are  small leaks especially  in  the  landing
corridor. New air is pumped in to replace it. Mars has plenty  of
air for our small population."
   "What will we do when the population is larger?"
   "Dig  more holes, find or create caverns, seal them, and  make
air. We have plenty of water. There is a reservoir of underground
water near us. It has dissolved salts and is poisonous, but it is
easy to purify water.
   "You  sound  as  if you plan to stay permanently,  Peabody.  I
hope that you will."
   "I wasn't happy on Earth. I am happy here, at least so far.  I
worry  about keeping all of you happy, but other than that  I  am
content."
   "Is it important to you that we all be happy?"
   "Yes."
   "You are a kind and loving person, Peabody."
   He took Peabody's hand and held it.
   "There  are hosts of our own species who cared less than  you.
And  you  have known us for only one day. We have a happy  family
thanks to you."
   "I  hope so. It would be nice to see our offspring expand this
tiny   colony.   I  would  feel  I  had  done  something   really
substantial."
   "We are not even your species. Do you want this for us?"
   "Yes, I do."
   Pon  put  his arm around him again and Peabody leaned  against
him.
   "I love you, Peabody."
   He rubbed his cheek against Peabody's.
   They got up and headed back.
   "Do  you  have  space suits? I suppose you had  to  have  them
before the quarters were built."
   "Yes,  they are part of the safety equipment. Would  you  like
me to show it to you?"
   "Yes, thanks."
   They  left the cavern and went back into the room at the  base
of  the ladder. Pon opened the other door and showed Peabody  the
suits.
   "We  have  two kinds of suits. Emergency balloon  suits  which
you  can enter and seal in about two seconds and full suits which
take  longer to get into. The balloon suits limit your  movement,
but  you  can use them to get to a location where you can  put  a
full suit on or await rescue. Our suits should fit you."
   Pon  showed  both  types to him. Peabody thought  the  balloon
suit was just what it sounded like. There were arms and legs, but
they weren't fitted. They were just extensions of the balloon.
   "They are Alaphin sized. How will I walk in one?"
   "They will shrink once you seal the suit." Peabody nodded.
   "In  the event of a marsquake, we could have anywhere from  no
air  loss  to catastrophic loss. Alarms will sound.  If  you  can
breathe  easily and the lights are not flashing, put on  a  space
suit.  Flashing lights mean the air loss is in your area. If  you
experience  any difficulty breathing or the lights are  flashing,
put  on a balloon. The balloons have rebreathers to recycle  your
air and a small amount to inflate them and provide initial air if
there is none or very little in the room when you enter it."
   "The  space suits have air, water, and emergency food rations.
You  can  live in one for several days, but we would most  likely
put  you on one of the shuttles while we made repairs. You  could
stay there comfortably without a suit."
   "Have you ever experienced a quake here?"
   "No.  But they have happened elsewhere on the planet since  we
arrived. We have made our habitat as quake proof as possible, but
some  rooms  are safer than others. Your rooms are  safest.  Your
room  is  made  from  part of our mother  ship.  Its  surface  is
extremely  tough. The walls inside the room that look  like  rock
are not real. It is...I suppose you would say it is an electronic
display. Other places, like this cavern are unsafe. Air loss  and
rock falls are both possible. The corridor to the shuttles is the
next most unsafe area. There are airlocks to allow the shuttle to
enter.  They  could become damaged in a quake.  There  are  suits
along  that  corridor. I will show you how to locate  them.  Even
exposed  to  surface air, unless you are injured, you  should  be
able  to  get  into a balloon suit in plenty of time  there.  You
won't  suffocate in two seconds. Next to your rooms, the shuttles
are  safest, followed by our rooms. Our rooms are also reinforced
with ship material."
   "So  if  there is an emergency, put on a suit and head for  my
room?"
   "Exactly. In the corridor is airless, you will need to  remain
in your suit until your room fills with air. That takes less than
a  minute.  It will fill automatically once the door  is  closed.
There are suits in your room, in case you need to leave during an
emergency.
   "We also have breathers which provide only air. If there is  a
small  leak and it is being repaired, you could use one.  If  you
aren't  certain  how long you will need to  use  it,  a  suit  is
definitely safer."
   He  showed Peabody a breather. It covered the entire head  and
sealed around the neck.
   Pon  demonstrated how to climb into a balloon suit.  The  back
and the legs were open. "The opening is in back, so you step into
it facing forward. Put your arms into the arms of the suit as you
walk into it. It closes and seals automatically. If you push here
and  here," Pon pointed to a spot on each shoulder, "it will open
and you can step back to exit the suit."
   He  showed him how to enter a spacesuit next. "The space suits
also  open from the rear. Your feet are longer and narrower  than
our bottom hands, but the suit material will stretch. If you will
be  in it for a while, you insert your prick in here." He pointed
out  a  hose. "You can skip that if you know you won't be in  the
suit long enough to need it.
   "Will  it massage my penis while it's in there?" Peabody asked
with a grin.
   "No. I will do that for you."
   "Thank you, Pon," Peabody said, laughing
   Pon looked at Peabody's crotch and saw a bulge again.
   "Oh, my love. It makes me so happy that want me."
   "Yes, Pon, I do. I think you are very attractive."
   He put his hand on Peabody's crotch. "May I?"
   "Sure."
   He  started  to  undo Peabody's pants, but he  wasn't  exactly
sure  how  to do it. Peabody took over and undid them and  pushed
them down.
   Pon  wrapped one hand around Peabody's cock and he cupped  his
balls  in  his other hand. Peabody looked up at him and Pon  bent
over  to kiss him. Peabody opened his mouth and Pon explored  the
inside  of it with his tongue. He stroked Peabody as they kissed.
He  felt  Peabody stiffen in his hand, which he enjoyed. He  bent
lower and licked Peabody's cock.
   Peabody pulled back and said, "I guess we should continue."
   "The fun?"
   Peabody  laughed  again.  "No, the  important,  but  less  fun
safety instructions."
   Pon  continued  while  Peabody  pulled  his  pants  up.  "This
extension attaches to your butt. When you are in the suit and all
attached, it closes automatically."
   Pon  had  Peabody  step  into a balloon  suit  first.  Peabody
thought  it was extremely simple. Then he got out and  tried  the
space suit. He didn't hook himself up to the attachments, though.
It was simple, also.
   They  climbed  back  up the ladder. Peabody  was  starting  to
think  the ladder was fun. He pulled himself up easily with  just
his arms.
   They  walked into the shuttle corridor and Pon showed him  the
niches  where the suits and breathers were stored. There  were  a
lot.  He  wondered  if a lot of them died in the  explosion  that
stranded them there, and these were their suits.
   "In  an emergency, head in to the nearest niche unless you are
very  close  to  one in the opposite direction. Catastrophic  air
loss is going to be originating at the airlocks to the surface.
   "If  you ever want to see the surface, we can show you it from
the  shuttle. That would be much more comfortable that seeing  it
in a space suit."
   "Lin  showed me how to see the surface on my TV. I don't  feel
a pressing need to see it live right now."
   "That is definitely the safest way to view it!"
   "Are you ready to head back?"
   "Definitely."
   Before  they entered his quarters, Pon said, "Peabody, I  know
you  have Lin and Lan available and very willing to do things for
you, but if you think of anything I can do, or even just want  to
talk,  please  let  me know. I love you and I want  to  make  you
happy."
   "I  will Pon." Peabody hugged him. Peabody pressed his face to
Pon's chest and breathed in deeply.
   Lin and Lan were waiting in Peabody's quarters.
   Peabody  was  hard again and he saw Lin and Lan were  hard  as
well.
   "What attractive penises you aliens have."
   "We  live  here.  You are the alien with the beautiful  cock,"
Lan said.
   "Except he keeps it covered up," Lin said to Lan. "Isn't  that
a shame?"
   "It is. I would like to be able to admire it all day long."
   Peabody smiled at them.
   "I  saw  Pon had a very big smile and a very small penis.  Our
handsome alien may be worn out," Lan said to Lin.
   "No. See that big bulge in his pants?"
   "It's not a tumor is it, doctor?" Lan asked. Peabody laughed.
   "No. I believe he is happy to see us."
   "Very happy," Peabody said.
   Peabody  walked  over to the bed and started undressing.  They
joined him and began running their hands over his body. Then  Lin
leaned  over and kissed him. Lan knelt behind Peabody and  pulled
his  cheeks apart. He pressed his face into Peabody's  crack  and
sniffed.  His  mind was imprinting on the scent of his  mate.  He
moaned at the scent. He and Lin loved Peabody's scent as much  as
Peabody  loved  theirs.  Lan  began lapping  at  Peabody's  hole.
Peabody moaned as he kissed Lin.
   Lan   stood  up  and  asked,  "Will  you  let  me  fuck   you,
beautiful?"
   Peabody  was  a  little  nervous.  He  was  still  sore   from
yesterday.
   "Lan, I want it, but I'm sore. Maybe if Lin goes first."
   "Lan, I think we should wait."
   "I  agree.  I  don't  want to even think  about  hurting  you,
beautiful.  When  you  aren't  sore  anymore,  we  will  work  on
stretching you slowly, OK?"
   "OK,  Lan.  Maybe you could give me candy. Pon gave  me  some,
but I want more."
   "Always, beautiful. Would you like to fuck me?"
   "I will if you want me to, but I'm a bottom."
   "No.  It  would make me feel like a host. If you ever want  to
do  it,  though, I am willing. All Alephin parents are  what  you
would call tops. Hosts are always bottoms. We fuck them."
   "That sounds like a wonderful arrangement to me."
   "My  love,  we  should really bathe before  we  feed  you  any
candy. Would you like to join us in the Jacuzzi?"
   They  walked  into the bathroom and filled the  Jacuzzi.  Once
they  got  in, Peabody tried not to laugh when he saw  them  wet.
They  looked even funnier than Max had looked wet. He managed  to
hide it by sucking Lin.
   "Oh, yes! My love!" Lin said as Peabody tried to take him  all
the way. Lan got behind him and pushed a finger into him.
   "Does that hurt?" Lan asked him.
   "Mm mm mm mm."
   "I couldn't understand him, Lin. Could you?"
   "Yes. He said Mmm mmmm mm."
   "Are you sure?"
   "Well,  I  sure that's what he said, but I'm not  sure  if  he
really meant it."
   Peabody  pulled back and started laughing. Then  he  said,  "I
said 'No, that feels good."
   "Ah. I misunderstood."
   "No  problem. My mother warned me about talking while my mouth
was  full.  I'm not sure she meant when it's full of alien  dick,
but she may have."
   "I'm sure she would be proud of you."
   "Oh, yeah!" Peabody laughed again.

   Pon headed straight for Ban after he left Peabody.
   "Ban,  Peabody sucked me! We kissed! I made him  come!"  Being
sucked  was  something all the brothers wanted to experience.  It
was  something  humans could do that they couldn't because  their
teeth.  They  also  didn't kiss like humans. Rubbing  cheeks  was
their equivalent.
   "You lucky thing! How did it feel?"
   "Incredible!  The best part was he was so eager.  I  think  he
wanted me almost as much as I want him. He moaned in pleasure  as
he sucked me."
   "How did you do it?"
   "I didn't do anything. He initiated it!"
   "Oh! I hope he likes me!"
   "He seems to like all of us!"
   "It  must  be too good to be true. Maybe he thought  you  were
Lan."
   "No,  he said 'I think I am falling in love with all of  you'.
Then he said he didn't know if it was because he still thinks  we
all look alike."
   "He said that?"
   Ban closed his eyes and hoped he would be next.
   "He  also told me he misses having someplace to walk. Lin said
he  lived across from a park and he likes trees. Peabody asked if
he could walk in the dripping cavern."
   "A  dark,  wet, cold place? We can do better than  that!"  Ban
said.
   "I thought so."
   "A  park.  Hmm."  Ban thought. "What about  cavern  seven.  We
could make it into something."
   "It is tall enough," Pon said.
   "Tall enough for what?"
   "For Earth trees, of course."
   "If  we  have  real  trees, we will have to  have  a  complete
biological system. Soil, soil microbes, sufficient light,  water,
drainage, fertilizer, etc."
   "Yes. Can you think of a better reason to do it?"
   Ban smiled and said, "No, I can't."
   "Besides, it will give us experience for when we try  to  grow
crops."
   "Yes, that is true."
   "We  can  show it to him as soon as it has air and  light.  He
can watch us build it for him!" Pon said.
   "He might be grateful."
   "I'm  sure he would. I'm sure he will take pity on your aching
prick."
   "Let's start now."
