For a while, Lucas kept to his own kind, and I kept to mine. I hated the distance between us and feared it would only grow, the closer we got to Earth.

But they needed his comfort and assurances. Genevieve was most excited of the bunch to go home, but even she listened intently as he described Thorzi, the plants and food, even the tournament. Some of the humans blanched at the idea we had fought for the right to have their children, but that did not seem so strange to me. How else would we ensure the strongest lines survived?

I liked to hear him describe the things he enjoyed or thought were beautiful. There was so much more I wanted to show him, but a terror gripped me that, when these humans departed this ship, he would go with them, even with the six remaining humans in the palace back home.

They chose to stay in a room all together, and, as this was a cargo vessel and not one intended for travel, that meant moving beds into one room and fixing them to the floor again.

In time, the Thorzi retired as well, and it was me alone at the helm, the ship driving itself while I watched the stars slide past.

I did not want to retreat to my own room only to find it empty. I did not want to drag Lucas away from his own kind. Best to stay up and keep watch and—

“Kaelum?”

Lucas’s sweet voice had me sitting upright in my seat. I turned toward him with a smile. “Yes, my Lucas?”

“Aren’t you tired?” He looked exhausted, his face pale and dark rings under his eyes. It had been more than a full day since he’d rested. His shoulders were slumped like even his hands had gotten heavier.

It was a feeling I understood, but I shook my head nonetheless. “I thought to keep watch.”

“Oh...”

His face fell, and I could not help thinking I had disappointed him. My heart clenched painfully.

“And I did not want to retire alone,” I admitted, staring intently ahead at the screen that showed our pace and progress.

“Alone?” Lucas’s steps were soft as he approached. He leaned against my seat and combed my hair back from my forehead with his fingertips. “Why alone?”

“I thought you might want to stay with your people.”

“I do.” He leaned down and the tip of his nose nudged against the side of my head. “But I also want to be with you.”

I caught my breath, my fears bubbling to the surface in—

In a way I could not imagine my father experiencing. It felt acutely human.

“What about on Earth? Will you want me then too?”

With a firm palm on my cheek, he turned my head so I had to look at him, my little Lucas, his eyes filled with stars.

“Yeah, Kaelum. I’m gonna want you then too.”

He lifted my hand and, mindless and willing, I let him pull me from my seat, down the short corridor, through to my private chambers. They were not so lavish as my room at the palace, but they were enough. The bed was large, and nothing else mattered to me when Lucas reached for the laces of my trousers and pushed them down my hips.

He looked down at my cock, hunger in his eyes, and his tongue wet his pretty lips.

“I love the way you look. How we’re different. It really fucking turns me on.”

While I did not think he’d ever been “off,” the semantics did not matter when he cupped his little hand around my shaft, his fingers rippling over every ridge of my cock.

The heel of his palm brushed my tip, smearing slick across his skin. With a heated gaze, he lifted his hand to his mouth and—

Oh, stars’ blessings, he licked the fluid off his skin and moaned. “You’re sweet.”

His eyes were wide, startled, but the knowledge spurred him on. He pushed me back onto the bed, dropping to his knees to help me kick my boots off and jerk my pants over my legs.

His hands dragged, splayed wide, up my thighs. Then both were on my dick, stroking.

His mouth was so little and warm and soft, but he could not fit the whole of me inside like this. I didn’t want him to try, not while his lips nibbled at my tip, his tongue a hot stroke, circling the head. The tip dipped into my slit, seeking out more wetness to swallow down while he worked me with his graceful hands.
