In my writing cave, I play restful dog music for my pet. I oddly think the music I was listening to when I worked on this chapter fit the scene. That sometimes happens with my Ice Era Chronicle, but not often.
Weeeellll, here is another chapter. I must warn you that this has some reluctance to it. I am not a fan of taking advantage of someone when they are drunk or high, but Octnavin doesn't seem to think of that as wrong. I guess aliens have different views. Read at your own risk...
Cheers,

*Chapter 5*
One kiss couldn't hurt.
"I am sooooo fucked up." Sloan slurred as he tried to make out the interior of the limo.
For a minute there, he wasn't sure if he'd passed out. He smiled. Everything felt so soft and happy. Could things feel happy? He ran his hand over the leather seat. Yes. Happy. Things were great. Life was super.
"This word fuck is very confusing." Octnavin sat on the back seat with his eyes raking Sloan. Man, that dude was sexy-as-hell. "The meanings do not fit." His pink lips were turned into a cute pout. "You use the word like punctuation."
"Fuck is a great word. It goes with everything." Sloan shook off his leather jacket and ran his hand over his t-shirt. He traced the band name 'Forever Tuesday' that was the main design across his chest. "You know I waited in line for hours to get this t-shirt and meet this band. Their drummer is awesome. I never saw them though, but I got the shirt. Last one." That seemed like forever ago. His fingers caught his nipples. That touch felt so good. Everything was great and Octnavin was sexy-as-sin. Did he take ecstasy or was he high on another drug? Vaguely, he recalled the sparkling gem. That was out of this world.
"Just relax. This will pass."
"Am I high?" Sloan looked out the window, but he couldn't tell if they were moving. The glass was dark.
"You are on the ground."
Sloan laughed.
"The rock makes you drunk?" Sloan rubbed his hands through his hair and over the whiskers on his face. He caressed his shirt again. His nipples perked up and he shivered. They had never been sensitive, but now his whole body was alive and awake. His cock nudged his zipper in agreement.
"It is different for every species. The gem does nothing to me."
"Species?" Sloan was trying to have a serious conversation drunk or high or whatever he was on. His jeans were too tight. Groaning, he freed the button and zipper. "What are you?"
"I am Dagerstanteen. Ruler and warrior. You may call me king or queen. I have come to Earth to seek out someone like you."
That sentence should've had Sloan running for the door. His feet started to itch but not to bolt. He untied his boots, removed them, and took off his socks. He ran his toes back and forth across the leather seat. He leaned back and stared at the mirror with the little lights on the roof of the limo. They blinked and twinkled.
"Someone like me, huh?" Sloan giggled. "I'm nothing special. Try again."
"I want to fuck you." Octnavin's voice was calm like they could be talking about the weather. "I use the word properly."
That should've been scary too. Sloan yawned and then rolled to the floor. The carpet of the limo was rough, and he liked the texture. He rubbed his back and grinned. He should get naked.
"Alien sex?" He laughed. He was so high right now. This had to be a trip. "Are you a giant bug?" That was a sobering thought but at the last minute, it all seemed hilarious. He laughed again.
"I will stay in this form. Humans do not accept things that are different. You cannot even accept different human skin pigmentations. I will stay like this and that way you will not get scared."
"I'm not fucking scared of any of this weak-ass shit." Sloan rolled over on the carpet and set his cheek on the floor. "I've been tripping balls before."
"I will accommodate this request because I am uncomfortable in this... suit." The door to the limo opened and Octnavin stepped out. Guess they were not moving. Sloan swiped a hand over his face. What request? What was he doing? He was with an alien? Or his parent's old drug dealer died? Or Elijah was in the trunk? His brain was fuzzy. A million questions zipped in and out. He glanced over at the limo's bar. Maybe he should have some water.
He found a craft and filled a glass. He drank and then coughed. Not water. Vodka. He stared at the glass and sipped. He was too high to be drinking. He set the glass aside as the door opened.
A creature stepped inside. Sloan sat straight up. Hell yeah. He was way too high.
"Holy fuck."
The man-creature who got into the car was tall, muscular, and blue, both hair and skin. Instead of arms, the alien had three tentacles on both sides of his body. His hair, thick and long, fell to his waist. The hair wasn't even hair but blue tubes that shimmered in the light.
Green emerald eyes drilled into Sloan. "I am Dagerstanteen."
"Is this real?"
"I am real."
Sloan must have dropped acid, but he didn't know why. He'd been clean of drugs for a long time. Also, he didn't have the money for this kind of trip. Inhaling, he closed his eyes. That feeling like everything was great and wonderful washed through him again. He opened his eyes and stared at the alien. He wasn't scared, more curious, and a little tired. Yawning, he got up on his knees.
"Are you going to eat me? Or take me apart to see my insides?" Sloan figured he should run. Aliens did anal probes, right? His brain laughed at the idea of leaving. A wave of relaxation flowed through him. He expected a fight or flight response, but he felt more like he wanted to roll on the carpet. He could nap.
"I want you to drink from me," Octnavin said politely.
"Octnavin?" Sloan rubbed his eyes. The voice was right. "You were a big fat man? JP called you the ruler, right?"
"The fat man was more spacious. Like a larger sweater so I choose it as a shell. The other man was very tight and itchy. I choose that for you." The blue alien leaned back on the bench seat and though he spoke, his lips never moved. His mouth looked glued shut. "Yes. I am the ruler of my species. Always the leader no matter my outward appearance. I am not male or female or man or woman. I simply am. The cat calls me king." His perfect pink lips tipped up into a smile. "You are bright for being a human. I like your blue hair." Suddenly, Octnavin seemed like the least threatening thing in the world. The alien was odd-looking, but his green eyes were just as pretty and serene as Sloan remembered. His lips were cocked in a slight smile. The black eyelashes batted like a woman with tons of mascara.
