“Phillip,”
Alika
murmured softly.

“
Shh
…you need to rest,” he said and kissed her neck. Being with her like this, it was easier for him to be a man because he could relax. He ran his finger over her stomach until his palm rested on her chest in the space between where her two hearts beat. She turned over and pressed her forehead to his. Seeing her smile made his heart sing.

“I don’t need rest.
Just to be with you.”

“I’m here with you.”

She trailed her hand down his cheek. “You saved me.”

He shook his head. “Herman saved you.”

Alika
laughed. “You know that’s not really how you pronounce his name?”

“I know, but I can’t say his name right even with the translator. There are some things in your language I don’t quite understand, but I get the gist of our conversation. I think he realizes that. I know I’m not saying your name completely right either. It flows off
Elarna’s
tongue much better than mine. I do have to admit something to you though.”

“Anything.”

“Going to
Rovan
,
Elarna
told me what will happen. I know what we’ve talked about me being with other females, but I don’t want you to ever think you’re not going to be my first choice if or when that happens.”

She threaded her fingers through his hair. He loved her soft touch and still couldn’t believe that she only came up to his chest when she stood up, but in her
canis
form she could reach his shoulders.
Alika
was a magnificent woman. “I know that. There are things you’ll have to endure, but I know you’re always going to be there for me no matter what happens. Don’t be surprised that you’ll have females bringing you gifts and trying to bed you. It will be a whole new life that you don’t ever have to think your existence is a curse.”

“How do you feel about sharing me?”

“I might not enjoy it, but I understand. It’s the way our world has been for thousands of years. And no matter what, I know you’ll always want me.”

“I love you,
Alika
.”

“I know, Phillip.”

He pressed his lips to hers and kissed her lightly while she cuddled into his arms and soon fell asleep.

Chapter Eleven

Herman waited patiently while Elarna went into the outpost that they had landed at. It had been two days since they had arrived. They had all b
een together for a week. Herman thought about the loss of his father, but it didn’t bother him. His father had already written him off years ago.
He prayed his
mother had escaped the volcanic eruption. He was sad for his people being caught in the blast, b
ut the more he was with Elarna, he understood this was where he was supposed to be. He was in love with her.

It didn’t matter that she said it was better for her to go in alone because the ones inside were leery of new people. The longer she was away from him, the
antsier
he became. When she returned to the ship, he was in the cargo bay waiting for her. Seeing her walk in, he forced his beast form away and then he had her in his arms. Herman caught her up and pressed his lips to hers. She stiffened in his embrace until she melted and pulled away from him.

“What was that for?” she asked.

“I don’t like it when you’re away from me.”

Elarna
chuckled and patted him on the chest. “I wasn’t gone very long. Besides, I have to get back in and pilot the ship.”

“Once we get going, I was hoping we could be alone.”

“I’m sure we can arrange that.” She pecked his cheek before heading toward the front of the ship.

Herman followed after her and into the bridge. There he found Phillip leaning close to
Alika
and whispering into her ear. He was hairless and Herman felt that connection to him more than he ever had. He wasn’t sure if it was because they had shared energy when he had tried to heal him or not. And Herman had a desire for
Alika
as well. The drive was there but it was more so now that he was in his hairless form. If he didn’t act upon it, then it would only grow. Phillip glanced up, caught his eye, and threw him a smile. He felt his cheeks burn at the image of Phillip and
Alika
in the same bed with him. Recalling the quick kiss he and the other male shared stirred his passions the same way that
Elarna
did. Too much bombarded his mind regarding the idea of his coupling when he felt
Elarna
put a hand on his arm.

“If you’re thinking what I think you’re thinking, the answer is he’s interested as well.”

The statement surprised him. When he looked into her eyes, he saw the mischievous grin as well.
“Really?
And what about you?
I wouldn’t want to upset you.”

She trailed her fingers down his chest. “I would be joining you. If that’s something you want to explore.”

“We’d have to ask them. Can only one person fly this ship? You said before it took two.”

“The autopilot can compensate for a time. The more I’ve flown it, the more
Alika
and I have discovered about it. So yes we can assign it for some time to keep on the right track. All we have to do is ask them.”

She went over to the other chair and pressed a few buttons. Phillip kissed
Alika
. Herman watched and wondered how it would feel to have them against him. His heart beat a little faster as he studied the male. He had never been forward before with another male. But his healing had linked them together.
Elarna
would be with him. Herman walked over and trailed his fingers along Phillip’s arm and saw the shock in his eyes. Phillip broke his kiss from
Alika
. He stared at him, but didn’t move. Herman took a deep breath and touched Phillips’s cheek lightly and captured his mouth.

Phillip kissed him swiftly, but Herman brushed his tongue along those silky lips before pulling away.
Alika
stared at the two of them as though he had done something inappropriate in front of her. “I’m sorry, I should have…”

Alika
shook her head and laid her hand on his other arm. “There’s no need to apologize, Herman. This happens on
Rovan
very often.”

“That is good to know. I can’t help it. I thought it was something to do with all the energy that I have shared with you because of healing you, but this attraction is stronger in this form than my beast form. However, I wasn’t sure how you would feel about it.”

Phillip nodded. “I know what you mean. I’ve been questioning it too, but if the girls are up for it, then I’m game.”

“I think we just have to decide on whose bed is big enough,”
Alika
said.

“I found just the place.”
Elarna
grabbed
Alika’s
hand and pulled her into the hallway. Herman flashed Phillip a smile and went after them. If this was going to happen then he was not going to question or regret it. His woman was in for it and so was
Alika
. He walked down the hallway. Phillip and found the room the women were in because the door was open. He stood in the doorway and observed them on the bed. Their lithe bodies were pressed against one another as they ran their fingers over one another’s flesh and kissed. Phillip said something he couldn’t quite understand, but he figured it was something that showed off the awesomeness of the view before him.

Herman felt his cock firm at the sight. Phillip pushed past him into the bedroom and also stopped.
Elarna
traced her fingers down
Alika’s
green physique.
Alika
drew the other female closer and kissed her and cupped those purple breasts. A small groan left his lips, and Phillip took in a quick breath. He looked over and saw the other man’s shaft was as hard as his. The muscles bunched in Phillip’s back. He touched those, and Phillip turned from the spectacle on the bed. He smiled at Herman. Before he could pull away, Phillip planted his mouth on Herman’s once more. This time the kiss was smooth and filled with desire. He wrapped his arm around the other male’s neck. He closed his eyes and pressed against the Earthling. His body was taut, and he realized he was taller than the other male, but that didn’t matter. He ran his hands over Phillips’s side until he fondled Phillip’s prick. The kiss was broken off as the other male uttered a soft moan.

Herman moved his hand faster along the other male’s dick. Phillip planted small kisses along his jaw. He shivered with delight and sensed more warmth along his back. When light fingers trailed down his spine, he realized one of the females was behind him. Wet lips pressed along his shoulder blades as hands moved along his spine. Phillip had stopped kissing him, so he assumed another one of the females was working on him. Those small kisses turned into nips, and he couldn’t hold in the groan. He opened his eyes and saw Phillip’s head thrown back in ecstasy as purple arms wrapped around him and her nails trailed over his
pecs
. He caught
Elarna’s
eye and felt a small spike of jealousy go through him, but she flashed him a smile that promised the things to come later.
Alika’s
fingers played with his nipples and twisted them. He gritted his teeth at the pleasure that rushed through him. He wasn’t sure how long he could hold out. Her tongue licked along his spine. It was rougher than it had been before like sand dragged across his flesh.

Elarna
gripped Phillip’s balls and rolled them around in her hand. Herman watched with fascination as her purple fingers were such a contrast against the other male’s pale skin. It was the same with
Alika’s
against his black flesh tone. Phillip thrust his hips forward and moaned.
Alika
grabbed his ass and squeezed it. Herman curled his toes and tried to keep his control. The bliss of her touches was already creeping up on him. The beast within him stirred, and he had to keep it contained. It was the first time he remembered actually trying to keep it shackled within him only because it too wanted to experience the ecstasy. It was as though he was feeling this for the first time as a separate part of him and not together the way he always was with the beast. He rocked on his feet with the petite female who was touching him. She slid around him until her breasts pushed into his chest, and she flashed him a perfect smile. Her teeth seemed to be pointier than what he remembered. She walked her fingers down until she cupped his prick and slid her hand along his sensitive skin. “
Ghrysts
…”

Alika
giggled. It was an intoxicating sound that sent quivers through him. “That didn’t translate, but I don’t think that was you saying you’re not having a good time.” She stood up on tiptoe and nibbled his bottom lip. He captured her head and held her, winding his fingers through her hair.

“I don’t know the words in your language for coupling. But I need you.
Now.”
With his other hand he clutched her ass, lifting her leg so it curled around his hip. She moaned as he lifted her up and pressed her against the wall. For a split second, he thought about being too big for her, but when he slid his cock inside of her depths, he felt her shape shifting. She grew taller and her body elongated in all the right places.

Alika
growled something as she kissed him harder. Her teeth caught his lip, drawing blood. The hot taste of it slid down his throat. It drew out his inner beast more, but he was able to ignore it for now as he thrust into
Alika
. He kissed her with a hunger and let the passion of the moment take over him. Her nails dug into his shoulders as she held onto him. He cradled her head so it wouldn’t hit the wall, but each time he moved all of his length into her pussy, its firm walls gripped him and she met him with the same frenzy. The energy they had shared between them was there as well. He could feel his connection to her, and in a way also experience her mounting pleasure. Herman found himself focusing on that as well as his building enjoyment.

“Yes. More,”
Alika
screamed.

Her whimpers encouraged him, but when he heard another husky voice in the room, it drew his attention. He saw Phillip nestled between
Elarna’s
legs, pleasuring her with his tongue and his hands. Herman watched for a second the techniques the other male was using and saw
Elarna
enjoyed it as her hips rose and fell and her cries filled the room. However, before he could watch her climax,
Alika’s
exaltations drew him back to their act. He kissed her again and looked into her eyes, noticing they were golden. The shape of her face had changed. Her claws pinched his flesh, and the pain mixed with the desire of his act rushed through him. He moved his shaft into her one last time, plunging all of himself inside of her. She cried out. It took him a moment to realize that he had spent his seed and was resting his forehead against
Alika’s
damp one. He heard her panting and realized he was breathing heavily as well. When he looked up, she flashed him an innocent, but satisfied smile.

“Did I hurt you?”

She shook her head and ran the tips of her fingers over his muscled chest.
“Not at all.
But I don’t think you’re completely satisfied. You’re still hard inside of me.” She wiggled, and he realized it was true. Their coupling had been exhilarating, but he needed more. It was a driving need, probably the excitement of the situation they were in.

He flashed
her a
smile and watched as Phillip’s ass stuck up in the air as he pleasured
Elarna
. It fascinated him as he lifted
Alika
off him and strolled over to Phillip. He ran his fingers down the other male’s spine, amazed at the contrast of his hand on such white flesh. Once he touched the supple skin, a spark of energy went through him.
Alika
trailed her fingers along Phillip’s shoulder before leaning over and drawing
Elarna’s
nipple into her mouth and sucking on it.
Elarna
thrusted
her hips up at the touch and uttered something he couldn’t understand. But seeing all of them
gratifing
one another drove him onward. It was too much to keep his hairless form. He threw back his head and roared, letting his normal form take over. As he grew and hair sprouted on his body, he heard
Elarna
cry out. She opened her eyes and there was a satisfied smile on her face. Herman rolled his shoulders feeling at home in his
beastial
shape and slipped his hand around Phillip’s waist and grabbed his cock.

He worked Phillip’s dick, running his hand up and down and saw the human male shiver as he manipulated him. Phillip glanced back at him and the hunger in the Earthling’s eyes swept over him. Herman could feel Phillip’s anticipation and his longing. Underneath all of that, there was another presence as feral as
his own
beast. As he worked him, Phillip’s form began to change. It only took a moment as the seamless transition went from hairless to beast. His prick elongated in Herman’s hands, and he found it made him harder. He wanted to continue and feel the Earthling come as his animal form, but Phillip growled something and pulled away from him. Herman tried to answer him, but before he could, he found himself shoved down onto the bed and Phillip was on top of him. The brown fur of the Bigfoot was dark against his own white fur.

“Mine,” Phillip grunted and pushed himself along Herman’s body. Their shafts touched.
Hot and throbbing and yet sensitive all at the same time.

Phillip shut his eyes and grimaced as he rode Herman. The friction between them made Herman desire for release. The bed depressed around him. When he rolled over he saw a large, black feline on the other side of him, holding down his right arm. Staring into those eyes, he knew it was
Elarna
and saw how beautiful she was in her feline form. Another large animal that he understood to be
Alika
in a pelt of fur was weighing down his other arm.
