Interspecies II
Chapter Two
After a brisk shower, mixed with me looking over a few of the documents that I had been sent in advance for this mission. I felt a lot calmer, returning to a baseline of normalcy. Yet, I could still feel a pleasant buzz that would radiate in my head at the thought of Era'Volrea.
Looking down at the watch on my wrist that had swapped over to the planetary time of this planet. I clicked my tongue, it was later into the morning that I would have expected, breathing out through my nose. Quickly, I collected my stylo and the case that I had brought with me.
Heading towards the front of the room, the door opened without any touch. I stepped out into the hallway to find it was empty. Blinking, I wondered why I thought that someone would be waiting. Shaking my head, I padded forward the tour from yesterday was helpful. A small map of the area was already formed in my brain.
Without much effort, I found myself at the mess hall. There was clear glass around the room, I saw Era'Volrea sitting at a table. She had a stylo of her own that was resting in her hands. Her fingers tapped across the stylo with an effortless grace. She was dressed differently from yesterday, the researcher tunic that she had on was nowhere to be seen today.
Era'Volrea was sitting in a halter top that curled around her neck, it was a light white, a tight fitting pair of black pants finished out the ensemble. Around her neck was a long necklace that was some sort of crest. Her hair was braided, again, but there was something looser about the braids today.
A silver bands sectioned the braid into eight sections, while some strands of it were left out. Her ears were covered in a different set of silver ornaments, but still I didn't spy any translation buds. I reached a hand up and brushed my own, they were a comfortable friend.
Sighing, I banished the dream from my mind and told myself that it was a lapse in control. Even if the subconscious thought that I desired this alien female, it was sorely mistaken. It was repulsive to think that I would stoop low enough to allow such feeble desire to consume me.
Raising my eyes, I found her silver eyes looking right back at me. My heart pounded in my chest, there was a smile on her face, almost a knowing smile. Her lips pulled back and displayed the pearly teeth, but instead of fear, I felt a pleasant pressure in my lower stomach.
Placing the stylo down, Era'Volrea stood and took no more than three easy strides towards me. The glass pane that was separating the corridor from the mess hall opened. Once again the scent of spiced liquor wafted off her, however, it was sweeter today.
I nearly found myself sniffing the air to get a better sense of it. 'Calm yourself, Yule!' I snapped internally.
"Good Morning," she said. Her English is even better than before.
"Morning," I replied shortly. Mentally kicking myself at being curt...
The same rising feeling of terror reared its head, I was not one to exchange such greetings with anyone. I had always been a lone researcher, more absorbed with my work than with interactions with my fellows. However, I felt a rising feeling of unrest, yet, it never came to fruition.
"Did you sleep pleasantly?" She asked, stepping backwards from the door to let me pass through the opening. I cleared my throat, looking around the mess hall. She had been sitting at a table that was close to the door, but there were plenty more seats in the room.
It looked as if it was designed to accommodate more than thirty members, it felt odd for it to be just the two of us in this base.
'Yule?' Her voice sounded like it was whispering inside my skull. I jumped a bit, turning my head to look at her. Those inhuman silver eyes were wrinkled in concern as they looked at me. Her mouth was closed and she appeared as if she was waiting for me to say something.
But I had heard her voice...had I heard her voice? My stomach knotted as I felt like I was losing it.
"I'm sorry, I was lost in thought," I managed after wrestling my mind into submission.
She flashed a small smile, this time without teeth as she raised her hand and gently patted my back. Her hand was lingering a little and rubbing a small circle, but then she abruptly removed it. "It seems that you might not have had a pleasant rest. It's always hard the first night on a new planet. Not to mention the day and night here on Planet 7S-9NR. The cycles of nighttime will start to lengthen tomorrow and daylight will become sparse," she hummed in her soft voice.
"Ah, they didn't disclose any information about the specifics of the planet other than its deposit of material that I'll be testing," I said.
"That's the company for you, always on the secretive side of the coin. Well you wouldn't be able to work on an empty stomach, follow me," she said. As she walked forward heading towards the back of the mess hall, where a few BOT's were working behind the counter. They were preparing a wide variety of food.
A small part of my brain was unwilling to get closer towards her, already the pleasant buzzing feeling felt like it was intensifying. It felt like the more that I was around her, the stronger it got. I touched the translation buds, again, but they were still firmly in place. I shoved the hesitation to the side and walked towards her, it was ridiculously to be worried about this!
Looking at her from behind, I could help but note that she was truly a tall woman. I found my eyes following her tail more closely as I walked behind her, it was on the long side easily able to wrap itself around me. It was just above the base of her butt, it was exactly the same place where humans, if we had developed tails, would have one. The tail flicked slightly back and forth as she stood, it appeared that it was possibly a prehensile tail.
That made the dream from last night slam into my brain, along with the rushing feeling of pleasure associated with it. Biting my lip, I felt my cock stir in my pants. Her tail flicked again, before it curled around her thigh.
'Oh, it really was a prehensile limb...'
"Ulva had set the BOT's to prepare a range of human cuisine. There are also Syreena's dishes if you are interested in them. I highly recommend that you try out the Lumes, I believe that would be the English translations," she hummed, turning her neck to look down at me. Her eyes were upturned as she happily explained the breakfast selections.
I blinked, feeling rather stupid that I had been caught thinking about that repulsive fantasy. Her nose wrinkled, and I got the sense, yet again, that perhaps she knew exactly what I was thinking. She looked away from me and back towards the spread of food.
Reaching a hand out she plucked a small cup of fruit that looked similar to strawberries. They were not red though, instead the fruit was a bright purple with the top being a milky white. There were five of the strawberry-ish fruits in the cup. Her long slender fingers were extended outwards as she balanced the cup in the middle of her palm.
"These are Lumes," she said. I hesitated, even though the pleasant buzz was there. A part of me was worried about eating something foreign. I'm sure that the BOT's and Era'Volrea were not trying to poison me. However, the color was making me pause. It was so bright, almost neon in its color! "They are not dangerous to the human digestive system."
Looking up from her palm towards her face, I found that her luminous silver eyes were watching me intently. Almost like a researcher watches an experiment, sucking in a breath. I picked up the cup of fruit from her palm. My fingers brushing her skin as I did an electric zing shot up my arm at the contact. She was warm and her skin was silken.
Quickly, I drew back with the cup clasped between my digits. The cup was heavier than I expected. It seems like these Lumes had some weight to them. Preparing myself, I plucked one of them Lumes from the cup and pinched it between two fingers. It felt like a strawberry, experimentally I brought it to my nose and sniffed.
Catching a glance of her watching me as I did this. Her eyes were inquisitive, but she didn't say anything more. They smelled sweet and fresh, nothing about the scent was wrong. Seeing as there was nothing wrong with the fruit in front of me. I brought it to my lips and bit down.
An explosion of flavor washed over my tongue, it tasted fresher than any fruit that I could remember. The taste was almost like a berry, but then mixed with a creamy flavor that brought it all together. Before I realized it, I had devoured the whole morsel and was licking my lips trying to catch any excess juices.
A peel of laughter broke the trance of the fruit. Looking over, I found her laughing softly. Her face was turned up into a smile as she beamed, obviously pleased that I liked the food. "Apologies, it's just delightful, humans must be very compatible with other species. It is said that Lumes are the blood of the Syrenna. Of course, they are not made from our blood, but it is one of the main staples in our diet," she explained hastily.
I could feel the disgust at the back of my mind at the word compatible. Yet, I couldn't summon the vitriol, the feeling was being suppressed instead. As she continued to laugh, I felt the pleasant buzz in my skull turn into a body wide tingle. A tiny part of me that I would deny to high heaven was happy that she was laughing. Happy that she was pleased, it was small, but it felt fast growing as I felt my cock continue to harden.
"If you don't mind, I'll prepare you a plate of a typical Syrenna breakfast. I promise that it'll be just as good as what you are eating right now," she said. Smiling as she flashed her teeth, it was then that I noticed her black tongue.
Again, the dream surfaced as I was thankful that she was tall enough that she wouldn't notice the bulge that was growing in my pants.
"Okay," I said, nodding my head. At this point, I just wanted to sit down and hide my erection. It was shameful, and even the pleasant buzz in my skull couldn't combat the negative emotions that were racing through me.
She continued smiling as she grabbed two plates, and began to fill them with an assortment of foods that were foreign. I grabbed another one of the Lumes and ate it. The flavor was delicious, it was a little sad that there were only three left.
