Chapter 3. The morning after
I woke up several hours later, to what I was hoping was morning, but in the darkness of space, going at the speed of light, there was no telling what time it was or how they kept track of it in their world. I checked my PAA and it was 5:00am on Earth. I looked around the room and I saw a very beautiful, naked Kate sleeping next to me, showing me that it all wasn't a dream. I stared at her and started thinking back to last night's activities, passing out after our first time together, and waking up throughout the night for more; we must have gotten up four or five times before she told me she couldn't do it anymore.
I could feel my body covered in sweat and both of our bodily fluids. I slowly got out of bed to some very weak legs and a sore body. I walked to the bathroom for a shower. Or what they considered one. Getting out and getting dressed, I got myself some breakfast before coming back to check on Kate. She was laying in bed looking out of the window into space as small lights passed by so fast.
I asked her, "Good morning, how did you sleep?"
She looked up at me and smiled. "My body is so sore, I don't think I am going to get out of bed for the next few days. How are you, fine?"
"I feel a little sore, but overall I am fine. I could go a couple more times if you wanted to," I told her with a smile.
"I think I will need a couple of days before I can do that again. And from what I know, the males of my race aren't as big as you are, and they can't go more than two times before needing several days of rest. My race doesn't have sex for pleasure like yours, as we only do it to pass on the lineage and that's it. The males don't get any pleasure from sex, unlike the females who do; that is way the wives often pair up and help take care of each other's needs, and get themselves ready for their husband."
I was stunned by that, seeing how beautiful all the women on the ship were, that the males only had sex as an obligation, and every time they have sex it was with two of the wives at once. "Then why do the males have so many wives and concubines if sex isn't for pleasure only an obligation."
"A male has to pass on his lineage. And the more sons one has, shows everyone how powerful he and his lineage is. For every one male born there are five females born. when a wife is with a child their husband doesn't have sex with them until after they have the child. He moves on to the next pair of wives."
Okay, that made sense, if they can only have sex two times before they need to rest for several days. Why spend time having sex with someone that's already pregnant. But that brought up the next question I had. "If that's the case, then why do they need to have concubines?"
"It is the job of the concubine to look after the house and the children of the wives. And the sexual needs of the ones that carry the child. They do not have sex with the males or get pregnant, they only help the house and wives in exchange for them being taken in. Concubines are mostly from lower families that cannot take care of themselves. So they become concubines at a young age for noble houses or wives of other lower males, that can offer something to their families for them. Most times, a noble house will get five to ten girls from one family for a couple of high-grade stones. But if they can't, they often get made into slaves so that their families don't have to take care of them."
"Oh, so for someone like me, that can keep going so many times, and who gets pleasure from all of it, what does that mean for me?"
She sat there for a moment, thought about it and then smiled, "It means you will have so many happy wives and many, many children. Most females are married to males with strong lineage, but are not happy with their husbands, so most times they are married as a pair with a female that they know like a sister, or another family member, or a friend, and sometimes their mother; if something has happened to her husband, so that they can help with each other's needs."
"What? Sisters, mother, and daughter isn't that incest?"
She looked at me, confused, "What is incest?"
"Incest is when a family has sex with each other."
"Oh, it is normal on my world. Males often take their sisters as their first wives as a gift from their fathers, when they come of age to pass on their seed to make the family stronger. Families have many daughters so they are often married together to other houses for competition. I have many beautiful sisters that you may take as your wife, or concubine, if you wish, and my mothers are also very pretty, and they will offer lots of compensation to you. And if you have not picked any other females on the ship, may I help you pick some. The more females that are with a child or have had a child by the time we get to our world, especially if you have some sons, the more powerful you will be, and the other families will do anything you want to have a strong male in their family."
"Okay. So what is this compensation you keep talking about?"
"Do you not have compensation for marriage in your world?"
I thought about it. "The only thing that comes to mind is a dowry, but that was a long time ago; people don't do that anymore."
"What is a DOWRY?"
"A long time ago, it was what families gave to men for marrying their daughters. Animals, money, jewelry, or land."
"Yes, families give gifts and other things to males with strong lineage, in hopes of marrying their daughters, but males that don't have strong lineage have to give gifts to the families of the females in hopes of marrying them."
I was getting excited about this new world the more I heard about it. "Well, since you're a princess, and the first woman I have ever been with, and seeing how much help you are giving me; will it be okay if I make you my first wife."
Kate got excited after I told her this and said she would be more than happy to be my first wife, but I will need to find another female to be her pair. And that we can do the contract here, but when we get to her world we will have to do the traditional ceremony with any other that I have picked.
