Untitled (8 page)

   Gabriel shuddered as well. Sweat prickled on his brow as he reached down over the thin cloth of his shorts, pressing a hand to his already-hard cock. He couldn't help but imagine Jhuun, in place of the Nhor character, throwing his head around in pleasure as Gabriel licked and sucked at his throat.

   On-screen, Kozhi had ceased his caresses on Nhor's throat and was now kneeling, soaking the sarong as the water now covered his knees. He dragged his fingertips, tortuously slow, down the center of Nhor's chest. Gabriel watched, fascinated, as the vestigial gills rippled with each frantic heave of his chest.

   Gabriel reached inside his shorts and released his erection, his pulse hammering in his ears as Kozhi reached for the knot on Nhor's sarong. Finally.
This w
as what he wanted to see. He began to stroke himself as the recording device, still in its continuous take, slowly zoomed in on Kozhi's working fingers.

   The sarong fell away from Nhor's hips, floated away on the surface of the water. The revealed sight, however, only left Gabriel puzzled.

   He'd wondered what a naked Eunnoian male looked like. He wasn't so naïve as to think they would look exactly like him, with a penis and testicles which functioned exactly the same, but he'd expected something he could…work with. He wasn't sure what to make of the sight on the broadcast screen. Nhor's groin looked smooth all over with nothing protruding at all, though there was a small horizontal slit, a few inches above the pubic bone, where Kozhi was now directing his attention.

   Strange, Gabriel thought. And familiar, but not in the way he expected. So what did the females look like then? Maybe he should have gotten the Kaano movie instead, if only to see what kind of equipment
they s
ported.

   Gabriel's hand went still around his cock. He was curious to see what would come next. Kozhi rubbed his fingers over the slit, sometimes penetrating inside just a bit, enough to make Nhor twist around against the trunk and issue loud wavering sounds of pleasure. Occasionally Kozhi would lean forward to place his tongue on the slit, gliding it against the surrounding skin, increasing his speed and pressure until Nhor moaned something in Eunnoian that was not subtitled, and Kozhi backed away, continuing the stimulation with his fingers.

   What came next was profoundly erotic, and Gabriel ran his thumb over the slick head of his erection and began to stroke again as Nhor moaned and shook against the tree, obviously in the throes of orgasm.

   The sight very nearly made Gabriel orgasm as well, though he heaved a breath and slowed the motion of his hand. Is that, he wondered, how Jhuun looked at the moment of orgasm? Maybe Eunnoians were built differently, but it didn't seem hard to figure out how to work around it.

   On the screen, Nhor's body relaxed for a moment, then went rigid. Kozhi had placed his hand right by the slit on Nhor's lower abdomen and said something in voiceover dialogue that ended with a breathy laugh and then, to Gabriel's surprise, a long, hard organ came out of the widening slit. Kozhi immediately placed his long fingers around the thick, tapered organ and began to slowly pump up and down.

   Well.
That
certainly proved him wrong about Eunnoian males, and what organs they—and more importantly, Jhuun—possessed. Gabriel reclined on his bed, kicked his shorts off and took himself in hand again, sliding his other hand under his tank top to pull it off as he watched the action unfold.

   Kozhi rose up, under Nhor's lustful gaze, who reached down to begin unknotting his companion's sarong. The voiceover dialogue had begun again, though Gabriel hadn't been paying attention to the subtitles and was momentarily confused when Kozhi abruptly covered Nhor's hands to stop his actions. Gabriel glanced down at the subtitles, enough to gauge that Nhor had unintentionally said something to upset Kozhi, and the latter, still dressed, strode through the water and walked out of shot. The dejected Nhor, obviously still aroused but unsatisfied, glumly reached for his discarded sarong and returned to the sandstone hut.

   Gabriel hoisted himself up to reach the broadcast screen, skipping ahead as it seemed the sex scene had ended for the moment. The rapidlymoving scenes implied Kozhi and Nhor had had an argument, followed by several scenes of Nhor wandering around the sandstone hut. Boring.

   Finally, Kozhi returned, and the movie seemed to be gearing up for a climactic scene as the two immediately greeted one another with their lips to the other's throats, and Gabriel stopped the skipping and laid back on his bed to watch the rest.

   Evidently, they had resolved their differences. Nhor seemed more aggressive this time. In this scene, he was wearing a darker sarong that looped around his chest, though as the voiceover went silent, he untied the cloth and flung it aside, standing naked before his lover and reclining against the outside wall of the sandstone hut. In a move that made Gabriel moan out loud before he could catch himself, Nhor then reached down, touching his own pubic slit while Kozhi watched, entranced.

   The actor playing Nhor, Gabriel mused with a shudder of excitement, was certainly talented. Gabriel's gaze was drawn to his long fingers, encircling the slit, teasing, sliding just the tips of his fingers inside, while he moaned and whimpered, his back arching at an impossible angle against the sandstone wall. His cries grew more urgent, his movements faster and clumsier as he cried out in the pleasure of his orgasm.

   This time, Gabriel knew what to expect and he squeezed his own cock hard as he watched Nhor's own organ sliding out, long and hard like before, curving upward toward his stomach. This seemed to galvanize Kozhi. He closed the distance between them, fastening his lips to Nhor's throat as the two fumbled simultaneously to unknot his sarong. Once it had fallen to the water, it was Nhor's turn to fall to his knees, pressing his lips to the slit on Kozhi's lower abdomen. The assault must have been heavenly. Kozhi's long body leaned forward and he moaned, harshly, while Nhor's hands wrapped around his hips and the recording device zoomed in to capture the strong, steady movement of Nhor's lips and mouth. When Kozhi shouted his own warning, Nhor didn't retreat entirely—he laid his cheek against his lover's hip, watching raptly as the organ, as long as his own and glistening with moisture, came out into his waiting hand as Kozhi's body tensed and he made a trilling groan.

   Gabriel had been dying to see what was supposed to come next. He was not disappointed as Nhor continued to use his mouth, gliding his lips from the base to the tip and then swallowing the organ. Some things did seem fairly universal, Gabriel thought with elation as he licked his own lips.

   Nhor continued to suck at and swallow the organ, then released it in favor of stimulating the skin around the entrance to the slit. Kozhi did not seem to mind the switch and in fact, he shuddered all over and closed his large eyes. Nhor began to caress the tip of the organ with his fingers, and Gabriel watched as the recording device again zoomed in, clearly expecting—
oh
.

   Kozhi practically wailed, his body arching backward as he came. A few spurts of cloudy fluid erupted from the narrow tip of the organ, covering Nhor's fingers and gently splashing against his bare shoulder. Kozhi wavered on his feet, utterly spent, or at least acting like he was, the ridges on his chest rippling madly as he continued to moan, using Nhor's shoulders for support as he lowered himself into the shallow water.

   Gabriel, who had been frantically mimicking the movement of Nhor's hand, forced himself to slow down as he felt his orgasm ready to uncurl, wanting to wait until Nhor, who looked so much like Jhuun, reached his own climax.

   Nhor pressed his lips to his lover's throat for a moment, until it appeared it was now Nhor's turn to be pleasured. They had a brief spoken exchange that Gabriel did not bother to read, watching raptly as Kozhi pressed Nhor back until he was reclining against the sandstone wall, though he cleverly sat on a small flat rock, so that his lower body would be visible to the camera above the shallow water. Nhor's organ was still out, still hard and aroused, twitching as Kozhi brushed his fingers around it.

   Kozhi, it seemed, was somewhat more of a tease, ignoring the organ itself in favor of the sensitive skin around the slit, though even then it seemed he caressed the skin with barely more than a feather-light touch. A glance at the subtitles confirmed that Nhor indeed felt he was being unfairly tormented.

   Kozhi's only response was to lean in and lick at Nhor's throat, causing him to thrash against the sandstone wall, his legs moving restlessly in the water. The screen zoomed in on the action of Kozhi's fingers for a few minutes, then pulled back again to capture Nhor's excited reactions.

   Gabriel's hand flew up and down his cock as he watched Nhor spiraling toward orgasm, until finally a quake seemed to pass over his long body and the same cloudy fluid erupted against Kozhi's

teasing fingers.

   This time, Gabriel did nothing to try and slow down, staring at Nhor's blissful face as he shuddered and stroked, finally coming all over his hand and stomach. The humid air of his quarters was stifling as he struggled to get his breathing under control.

   The voiceover dialogue began again as Nhor and Kozhi reclined into the pose used on the cover of the disc. There was still about twenty minutes of the movie to go, but Gabriel switched it off with a shaking hand and collapsed back onto his bed. As much as he liked the Nhor character, he didn't particularly care about the couple's tribulations at Yaalhi Pond, and he had gotten all the information he needed from the movie.

   And
what
information, he thought, staring up at the ceiling as he felt the sweat and come cooling on his skin. It seemed Humans and Eunnoians were more similar than he thought, enough that he could certainly figure out his way around Jhuun…assuming, of course, that Jhuun wanted such a thing. And assuming, of course, that
Gabriel
wanted such a thing.

   He sighed. Renting the movie had been a curiosity, entirely Kurt's idea, and it could end then and there. Knowing how to handle Jhuun didn't change the fact that any relationship would be dearly threatened, what with the threat of the Maedrom looming even closer.

   Well. Now was not the time to reflect on these matters. Gabriel rose and headed for the shower, needing to get cleaned up before joining Jhuun in the workshop for their next shift.

   What an interesting shift
this
would be, he thought with a shake of his head.

   Gabriel arrived to an empty workshop. Granted, it wasn't truly empty—the M-Alpha still sat in the middle of the room, sneering at Gabriel with its open circuitry. Close to the M-Alpha was a piece of technology Gabriel was not familiar with—a black lozenge-shaped device with a control panel covered in bulky alien script. However, despite the presence of all the equipment, the workshop was echoingly empty without Jhuun inside.

   He wondered where his companion was. Gabriel knelt by the lozenge and had just begun examining the control panel when the door to the workshop opened with a creak and Jhuun walked inside.

   "Gabriel," he said, smiling widely. "Apologies for my lateness, I slept somewhat later than planned."

   "Hey, no problem," Gabriel said. He couldn't help but gulp, suddenly hyper-aware of the heat in the workshop as he watched Jhuun walk up to him. His eyes flickered up and down Jhuun's body, staring at the delicate-looking skin at the alien's throat, and then down at his lower abdomen, hidden beneath a dark red pair of form fitting shorts. Now that he knew what hid beneath the material, and how it worked, it was hard to think of anything else. Visions of Nhor and his orgasmic face kept dancing through his head.

   If Jhuun noticed his distraction, he didn't comment on it. Instead, he indicated the strange black device with a flourish. "It has arrived, did you see? Section 29 was able to bring it to us early this morning. Luckily they are only a few hours' journey away from us."

   "Oh…yeah," Gabriel stammered. He'd been picking at the control panel without really paying attention. "Right, right, this is the tech you were going to request. The Fnorn sent this. Right?"

   Jhuun clucked happily. "This is the most recent incarnation of the cannons they used against the Glispex weapons during the invasion. Come! I will show you the control panel. I can't speak the Fnorn language, but I can read the script. Once you are familiar, we can begin running tests."
