[[This sci-fi story involves a woman and an alien man (humanoid-ish, shark-like) being forced to breed in the name of science. They reluctantly find enjoyment in this. Aren is 26. All other characters taking part in sexual acts are above legal age.
If you do not find nonconsentual/reluctance fantasies enjoyable, then please move on.
Bit of a shorter chapter here than the first, but I wanted to establish the feeling for Na'taq's point of view before moving on and also clue the reader into more of his alien anatomy and how mating for his kind actually works. ;D]]

Na'taq awoke to the beeping in his cell as he had every day since he had been brought here. And he was exhausted, just as he had been every day since. The day cycles here on Earth were shorter than those on Kal'th'ok. Home. He missed it dearly.
He and his crew had been out scouting lifeless planets for minerals. They weren't even supposed to interact with any life forms. Yet when the navigation systems were corrupted by some unforseen circumstances, they had to land on the nearest inhabitable planet. They had yet to discover why the nav system failed when the humans forcefully escorted them off their ship.
Na'taq's father had been commander then. They shot him as an example. And since the crew was made up of mostly scientists, Na'taq and the other soldiers thought it safer to surrender.
They said it had been twenty years. Human years, he had gathered after some time, were shorter than Kal'th'ok years, but Na'taq knew it didn't matter how you measured it. It had been too long. The distress beacon must have been damaged along with the navigation systems. No one was coming.
Na'taq sat up in his human bed made for human bodies. His body hurt all the time now. His spine needed more padding. The heavy door opened. Then closed. He didn't look up to see who it was. He knew it was another human woman.
"Twice in two days?" Na'taq asked the speaker on the wall.
"Your other kin work every day," the speaker crackled back. "Why should you be any different?"
"Don't I get breakfast?"
"Earn it."
Na'taq finally turned to look at the woman. He was surprised to see it was the same woman from the day before. Aren they had called her. She stood with her hands together, but she didn't look particularly nervous, just tired.
"They don't usually send the same girl so soon," he said, his voice a low growl that most of the humans shied away from. She did not.
"I was told that we would be partnered from now on," she said.
The intercom crackled on again and Isaak's voice filled the room. "I wondered if the rotation is working against me. So you two are my guinea pigs for long-term, partnered fertilization. Since you beasts won't tell me what works best."
Isaak was sounding rather annoyed today. This made Na'taq smile a wide, sharp-toothed grin.
"I wonder why that is?" He was rewarded with a shock to his collar. Na'taq grit his teeth and groaned. The sensation was over only a moment later. The human woman had taken an urgent step closer, but did not advance further.
"Aren, from now on, you'll stay here when you're not sleeping. By the end of the week I want you two breeding at least three times a day." Aren let out a gasp and Na-taq looked at her. Fear was written on her features. "Don't worry. If he kills you, we kill him. He knows this. Begin now."
Isaak's voice crackled away again and Na'taq was left staring at the human woman. Something in him softened. He would not throw her on the bed like he had the day before.
"He will shock me again if we don't comply," he said. "And you might lose rations." Aren only nodded. Then glanced to the bed. "I will go easy this time," he added.
The woman let out a shaky breath. Then nodded again. She approached the bed. "It's Na'taq, right?" she asked, trying her best to pronounce his name. She turned to look at him.
He nodded, expressionless. He had never heard a human try to say his name before.
"I'm sorry. For everything that's happened to you."
"I just want my breakfast," he said, his lip curling, but his heart wasn't in it.
