away his things
until the last phase. I feel guilty because the tie between us
feels stronger than the one I had with Nezier and I know that was a
true bond.”

Soarer’s Nest: 13:00 tines
::We will need to get our promise rings
and Asta glasses, but we can decide where to live and get our rings
and glasses later. Right now I want you under me.:: Tarin
pushed Sam’s shoulders down into the softness of the couch pillows.
Sam turned on his side so they faced each other.
::I foolishly didn’t bother to ask, although
I should have consulted Mark, but now that I’ve taken the vial,
does my equipment work the same way?::
::Yes and no. Externally you will see the
slick that pours from under your foreskin. This enables one of us
to penetrate the other and our fem without pain when we bond.
Internally, there will be a type of a tube, a Secondary Sperm Valve
that connects your channel to the seminal vesicle in your partner.
When a Sarran Warrior receives sperm from his bonded, it opens the
valve. The sperm goes through the valve to connect to the seminal
vesicle where they mix with the sperm of your bonded. It is only
when they mix that we can impregnate our fem. Our offspring are
born with half of our fem’s DNA and one-quarter of each of ours.
After we form the bond with our fem, we may make penetrative love
with her or without her, as the Triad chooses.::
::I feel foolish asking for such basic
information. I had the whole voyage to research this aspect of
Sarran physiology. I was concentrating on helping Michael adjust to
Sara’s Warriors.::
::You did the right thing, my fox. From the
holos you showed me, Michael had reason to be wary.::
::Now I feel like a pre-pubescent
offspring in health class, not knowing how my body is supposed to
function.:: Sam blushed. ::How do I please you?::
::All the ways you’d please yourself
without penetration. Let me show you.:: Tarin sat up, got off
the couch, and knelt in front of Sam, removing the boots Mark and
Juraens had fabricated for him on board the Brightstar. Tarin
kissed the inside of Sam’s knee. Sam moaned. He never knew he had a
hot spot there.
Tarin removed his own boots and then attacked
Sam’s flightsuit. The one-piece garment came off quickly, giving
Tarin access to Sam’s body.
Sam looked at his lover in appreciation. “You
have a beautiful, hard form. I love your wavy blonde hair and blue
eyes. You are everything I ever looked for in a man. If I had met
you before Mary, I doubt I would have joined the army. I’d have
become a college professor and lived in a house very much like this
with you always at my side.”
Sam ran his palm down Tarin’s side from his
shoulder to the curve of his ass. “Beautiful…I can’t believe how
lucky I am and it seems even our dreams are in alignment.”
Tarin blushed. ::I keep in shape because
any Sarran Warrior can be called to battle at any time. You were in
governance, how did you train? You have a hard and well-made body,
my fox.::
::In the Senate Gym. I exercised and had a
trainer. If I were going to be the President, I had to be in the
best shape I’d ever been in my life. The job is debilitating.
Although the United States is only one country on Earth, the
President of the United States carries the weight of the world on
his shoulders because we act as the planet’s police and are the
only major power left on Earth. Russia and China have the land mass
and China has population, but the United States still has the upper
hand in weaponry. We, like the Sarrans, also have fierce
Warriors.::
::Being on council is much the same as you
describe the presidency. The Elders aged quickly during the war and
later when the Zyptz took our fems, the Elders bore the brunt of
finding a solution. Our population is dangerously low, a mere
twenty-thousand WarriorPairs. If you add the unbonded Warriors and
offspring, it is another ten thousand. We
