Chapter 21
A Marriage of Love
(Intergalactic interference)
Cardinal Whittinger now in his eighty's and the former English Ambassador Frederic long since retired, are called on once again to provide papers for not only Menard, but Melic, Larion, and Gollem as well. It's amazing how easy it is to provide a background from birth to the present when necessary, that is if you have the right connections.
The wedding was held at the B&B and went flawlessly. Menard and his beautiful bride beamed with happiness. They chose to live at the ranch for many reasons but the main decision maker was the friendship that had developed between Eve and Susan. The university hired Menard to work with Susan when it became obvious his natural instinct for understanding Marine life was an asset not only to Susan but also to the University.
They were often away for days on board the university's research vessel and found returning to the ranch a peaceful retreat giving them time to study and reenergize for their next project.
On their latest project Menard and Susan had been at sea for two days not far from Hobart in the Tasman Sea off the coast of Tasmania when Menard received a coded message directed only to him from Gollum. "The authorities on Mar-Keen have found us ...our friends are in danger ...an armed Mar-Keen reconnaissance ship is approaching ...you must return at once."
The research vessel turned immediately and headed for Sydney. Startled, Susan said, "Menard the ship is heading back and we haven't finished our project."
"Susan, I can't explain now but I must return to the ranch immediately."
Susan's questions came in rapid fire succession. She asked why he had to go back to the ranch, and how the captain knew to turn back and why are the men shutting down most of the electronic equipment, what's going on Menard? And why did you say you had to return to the ranch instead of us?"
"Susan you will have to remain at the university, I'll return when it's safe, please trust me my darling, I promise I will explain everything when I can. As for the captain and men I am controlling their actions for now, I'm sorry for confusion but I haven't time to explain everything now."
"Menard, I'm frightened, what's happening and what do you mean you're controlling the men?"
Menard put his arms around Susan and kissed her before saying, "My loving wife, I love you more than life itself, and I will keep you safe no matter what so please, once again I ask you to trust me and don't say anything about what is happening now to anyone.
The research boat soon docked and Menard asked Susan to please return to the university and act as if nothing unusual has happened it's very important not to raise suspicions.
Gollum, Larion and Melic were waiting in their car which fortunately Melic had learned to drive. Gollum said, "The ship from Mar-Keen will arrive soon, we will have to defend our friends, we can't allow them to become involved in a battle against weapons they have no understanding of. Larion can you mentally follow the ships location as it approaches?"
"Yes I've telepathically locked on to their navigation control system."
"Good, try not to let them know you're tracking them. Menard asked if they were able to get the weapons that we had removed from the ship. Melic said, "Yes, the others had no idea what they are so we were able to leave them in our closets in plain sight without worry."
What Larion and his friends didn't know was that hidden a short distance behind them, Michael, Ian and the others were listening to every word that was said thanks to Martin's unique telepathic ability. Martin explained to the others that their friends from Mar-Keen were willing to give their lives to protect all of us. Guy said, "I'm glad grandfather has made it possible to give our friends a helping hand in this fight."
Peter added, "Yes Michael it's lucky for us after our first encounter with the men from Mar-Keen your father had enough influence to have a couple of those small surface to air missiles installed close to the ranch. And it's really lucky to have an American submarine using their radar to track the incoming ship or we'd be shooting blind once it entered the earth's atmosphere."
They followed Melic as he drove back to the ranch and watched as they coasted in without lights not to raise anyone one's attention. The four of them slipped out their car and headed east on foot hoping to setup a surprise attack against the Mar-Keen military.
Michael and his groups armed with their own guns and ammunition silently slipped in and hid not far behind Gollum's men intending to help in the fight if it came to that. Martin, Peter, and Michael made it to the underground bunker that controlled the missiles. Martin managed to piggyback on to Larion's connection to the incoming ship so Michael had a double set of coordinates to set the missiles on course if needed.
Within an hour the ship from Mar-Keen was sighted in the night sky, Martin was hoping there would be some communication between Gollum and the ship that would defuse the situation. That unfortunately did not happen and the message that Martin picked up from Gollum and his group was that they were in full battle mode to fight the instant the ship landed.
Michael locked the missile's guidance system onto the ship and waited until it was in range and fired. Gollum and his group were shocked to see a projectile shooting through the night sky and seconds later the incoming Mar-Keen ship was vaporized in a ball of fire.
Martin sent a telepathic message asking if Gollum and the others if they were okay. Gollum who was obviously shaken said, "Yes we're fine but how did you know what was happening and what was that object in the sky?"
Martin replied, "That object was a message sent to the leaders of Mar-Keen to stay away from earth."
"I'm certain the authorities on Mar-Keen witnessed the entire event Martin, they will never again send a team to bring us back to Mar-Keen. They made a serious mistake in thinking you did not have technology that could so easily destroy their ship."
Larion said, "We also underestimated your defensive abilities, we should have consulted with you about the ship coming after us, but we're glad you reacted in such a way to destroy their ship before they could do any harm."
"Ian said we knew you were trying to protect us and we appreciate your bravery, but please don't attempt to keep things from us such as the weapons you had hidden at the ranch. We never wish to cause harm to others, but please understand we will protect ourselves against any attack that comes our way."
Michael, Peter, and Martin resealed the hidden entrance to the bunker before joining the others who now had met up with Gollum, Melic, Larion, and Menard.
Gollum was quite astonished at what happened not only from the fact that they destroyed the ship, but also that they knew what was taking place and so easily took care of the situation. We really have to thank you for coming to our aid; some of us would have died in the ensuing battle if one had taken place.
Michael gave Gollum a bear hug as he said, "We can't let any harm come to our friends now can we."
Gollum laughed as he said, "Apparently not, I think you are always several steps ahead of us my dear friend."
Menard stood silently with a silly grin on his handsome face. Reg said, "What's with that crazy grin about Menard."
"It appears I have a lot of explaining to do to Susan after taking control of the research boat and forcing it back to Sydney. I blocked the others members of the teams thoughts, but did nothing to Susan's, I could not do that to her she deserved to know something dangerous was taking place even though she didn't know what."
Thomas laughing said, "Well good luck with explaining that Menard."
"Yes, knowing Susan, I'm going to need all the luck I can get."
As it turned out when Menard got back to the university it was early morning and Susan was waiting in the lab for him. When he walked through the door she ran and hugged him, "Menard I was worried sick, I saw the explosion in the sky last night and knew it was something to do with you and why you were being so secretive. You work for a government agency of some kind don't you; I bet it's with the military and some secret program their working on."
Menard kissed his wife and said, "You know you're must too intelligent don't you. There isn't much I can tell you about what happened last night, but everything turned out alright and the danger is over. I doubt I'll be called into service again so it's just you and me and our work here at the university from now on."
"But Menard how did you make our colleagues on the ship do what you wanted, they haven't mentioned a thing about the change in our plans or why we returned to Sydney earlier than expected?"
"Sweetheart I'm exhausted; could we discuss this after I got some badly needed rest?"
Susan smiled that special smile and said, "I'm a bit tired myself perhaps I'll join you."
Somehow Menard didn't think he was going to get must rest the way Susan was unbuttoning his shirt, at least not for a while and that was perfectly alright he was more than ready to perform a husbands duties.
Life at the ranch had settled into a regular routine that is if you can call the happenings at the ranch a regular routine by any stretch of the imagination.
Reg mentioned to Guy that he noticed Gollum was hanging out a lot with Melic and Larion now that Menard and Susan were together. Guy said, "Yes I was curious as to how Gollum would react to not sharing his bedroom with Menard. I see James and Jon spend a lot of time together with the three of them also which is considerate. Maybe it would be nice if we did more with them, what do you think Reg?"
Reg replied, "I would like that Guy, maybe the seven of us could make a return trip to the lake sometime."
Laughing Guy said, "And just what kind of plan do you have rolling around in that handsome head of yours?"
"I'm not sure, maybe just a more intimate setting for us to get to know each other better. The last time we went there were so many of us and we were trying to feel out where our new friends stood sexually. Now everyone has settled into a partnership situation, that is with the exception of Gollum and he seems to have become close with Melic and Larion. It would be nice to see how that's working out don't you think?"
Guy said, "Actually I have to admit I am curious as to what's going on with the three of them. I wonder if James and Jon know since they spend a lot of time with them."
"Let's ask."
Guy started laughing, "So you think the direct approach is the best approach?"
Reg said, "Well let's just say it may be the quickest way to satisfying our curiosity."
Guy and Reg saddled a couple of horses and road out to where James and Jon were watching over the sheep. James and Jon saw them approaching and waved as Jon shouted, "Hey guys, what's up?"
Reg replied, "Nothing special we just thought we'd ride out and ask what you two thought about taking a ride out to the lake with Larion, Melic, and Gollum."
James said, "Actually that sounds like a fun idea, I think they would enjoy it. Are you suggesting that just the seven of us go to the lake?"
Guy said, "Yes, we thought it would give us an opportunity to get to know each other in a more intimate setting since the last time we were at the lake there was so much going on.
Reg quickly added, "Also we were wondering if you two were aware of how Gollum is doing since Menard is now with Susan. We noticed that he seems to spend a lot of his time with Larion and Melic."
Jon explained, "Yes Gollum does spend more time with Larion and Melic and they are glad he has chosen to join them, they wouldn't want him to be lonely and the three of them appear to have a good time together. If you're wondering if they have sex together, we have no idea, although the thought has crossed our minds just as it apparently has yours."
Guy started laughing, "I'm afraid you figured us out, we're being curious about something that is really none of our business."
"James and I have been just as curious as you and Reg so maybe a trip back out to the lake will give us a clue as to where things stand among the three of them, sexually speaking that is."
Reg added, "Or the seven of us."
Guy, James and Jon all turned and looked at Reg hearing his statement which seemed to include all of them sexually. Jon did is eyebrow jiggle as he said, "I do believe Reg is thinking on the wild side."
Laughing Reg said, "I think you all have taken my comment out of context, I was referring to the friendship developing among the seven of us."
Guy kissed Reg on the check before saying, "Oh really, so James, Jon and me all took your comment out of context did we."
Smiling broadly Reg replied, "It appears so. But it's interesting all three of you were on the same page with your thoughts of being on the wild side sexually, as Jon so bluntly put it."
James was just about cracking up with laughter as he said, "Somehow I think Reg caught us thinking the same thing even if it wasn't what he meant, or did he?"
Guy looked over at Reg who was wearing a suspiciously sly grin, he said, "I'm still not convinced he's as innocent as he wants us to think."
Saturday morning Peter found a note on the dining table letting everyone know the seven of them would be out to the lake for the day. Martin said, "I wonder why they didn't ask anyone else if they'd like to go?"
Peter hugged Martin as he said, "It may have something to do with the seven of them being about the same age and that age happens to be several years younger than the rest of us."
Martin said, "Yes, that's true, it looks like they made their own lunches to take with them. By the looks of the kitchen I think we better clean it up before Quinn sees the mess they made."
Quinn said, "Too late!" as he stood in the entrance to the kitchen. "It's okay; they probably didn't want to bother me fixing something for them, and you're right Peter, the way I see them they're still just big kids and they need some time to themselves."
Martin gave his dad a hug. "Dad, you're such a great guy, I hope you know how much I love you."
Quinn replied, "I do Martin, no sense getting all mushy about it."
Peter and Martin both rushed Quinn hugging and loving him up as he blushed. Eve walked in, looked at them and said, "It's nice to see you're all still as crazy as ever."
Arriving at the lake in the heat of the mid-day sun the guys were out of their clothes and into the cool water as soon as they had taken care of the horses. Gollum, Larion, and Melic were swimming like pros now which made for diving and racing each other more fun than ever. Reg usually won, he was a powerful swimmer and never let up when racing but Larion and Guy were beginning to give him a run for his money.
Later as they spread their towels out on the grass beneath the trees for lunch Melic, Larion and Gollum laid their towels closely side by side. James, Jon, Guy and Reg did the same forming a tight circle with everyone close enough to touch one another.
After eating lunch Melic and Gollum stretched out on their backs with Larion between them laying on his stomach his hands tweaking both of his mate's nipples as he kissed first one and then the other. Within minutes they all had erections which Larion wasn't shy about deep throating. That answered everyone's curiosity about Gollum becoming a part of their sex play.
Reg was already on top of Guy licking his nipples before working his way down to Guy's cock which was already slick with precum. Reg was startled when he felt someone sucking his cock just as he started to deep throat Guy. Looking down between his legs he saw Gollum had slipped between his legs and was sucking him. Shifting his gaze back to Guy he saw Guy was doing his best to take as much of Larion's big cock into his mouth as he could with Larion's balls resting on his face. What an incredible turn on this was.
Melic was lying on his back sucking James' balls as James knelt over his face. Jon was humping on Melic's cock as he leaned over sucking James' cock at the same time.
The air was thick with the scent of sex driving each of them even deeper into a sexual frenzy which culminated with near simultaneous climaxes leaving all of them exhausted.
After heartbeats had slowed to normal and the guys had washed off in the lake, Gollum said, "It appears we all satisfied each other's curiosity about the possibility of this happening and all I can say is wow! I loved every minute of it."
Guy joined in saying, "I think all of us will agree to that Gollum, I didn't know sex could be that extreme and speaking for myself I also loved it. Anyone else have a comment?"
James said, "Yes when can we do it again?"
After a bit of laughter they all thought getting together again was a good idea and the sooner the better. Reg said, "It's nice to know you guys figured out that love and sex was a nice combination."
Larion added, "Yes this is true, but you must remember it was our first although short meeting with you when we were forced to land on this planet that sparked something within each of us that was strong enough for us to risk a return trip which we knew was a one way trip only and even that it had been forbidden. Now having lived here with you in this wonderful place for a few years we've come to realize life on Mar-Keen wasn't living at all. We merely existed under a repressive system that controlled every aspect of our life."
Melic said, "Yes, as Reg pointed out it did take us a while to figure out that love and sex is a nice combination, but there's so much more to our adjustment than you can possibly understand."
Guy added, "You're right we could never understand, but we love you and we're happy you are here and part of our family."
Gollum said, "When you say we are part of your family that means a great deal to us. We've never known family, I was fortunate in getting to meet my adult son, but that is a rare incident in Mar-Keen society. Personally there have been times when I'm alone and I think of being a part of your family I admit I shed a few tears of happiness."
Larion added, "What you think of as natural part of life that you take for granted is to us a miracle, something almost beyond our comprehension."
Guy said, "When Menard and Susan have a child you will witness a family in the making."
The look on their faces was one of pure shock.
"Is it possible such a thing could happen between Menard and Susan? How will Susan's egg be fertilized if a fertilization doctor doesn't take care of it? And in what facility will the baby develop in...?"
Reg intervened telling the guys to slow down and we'll try to explain it to you. "First, each time Menard makes love to Susan, his sperm searches for an egg to fertilize. If the sperm reaches and fertilizes one of her eggs then the baby will form inside of Susan and grow until the baby is ready to be born. It takes approximately nine months."
Now the look of shock on their faces turned to total disbelieve, realizing they were out of their realm of expertise Reg suggested the explanation be turned over to Eve and Quinn. Reg could see that however the process was done on Mar-Keen or at least how the Mar-Keen people had been taught babies were born had nothing to do with how they are normally conceived, develop in the mother's womb and how the birthing process takes place.
On the ride back to the ranch the guys knew Eve and Quinn were going to have their hands full trying to explain everything to them considering the questions that were non-stop all the way home.
When they rode up to the front veranda, Guy looked at Eve and Quinn with a rather mischievous smile as he said, "We have a project for you two." Melic, Larion, and Gollum immediately pulled chairs up close to Eve and Quinn.
Eve and Quinn looked at each other then at Guy, Eve asked, "What type of project?" James said in his usual rapid fire way, "Larion, Melic, and Gollum want you and Quinn to explain how babies are conceived that's all"
Jon said, "We'll catch you later after we take care of the horses." Guy, Reg, James and Jon headed off for the stables so fast Quinn and Eve bare knew they had been there.
Eve looked at Gollum and said, "Just exactly what is it you want to know about how babies are conceived?"
Melic said, "We were at the lake talking about families and Reg said maybe Menard and Susan would start a family and we could see how babies were conceived, and then he and Guy said some stuff about Menard's sperm fertilizing one of Susan's eggs and then a baby growing inside of Susan. It all sounded ridiculous to us, so they said you and Quinn would explain everything. So our first question is how could a baby grow inside of Susan and if it did how would it get out?"
Quinn started to get up, Eve grabbed his arm as she said, "Where do you think you're going Quinn, this is going to take two of us and a lot of time.
Looking really frustrated Quinn said, "When I get through with Guy, Reg, James and Jon, they're going to wish they'd never started this conversation. For heaven's sake why would these young men up at the lake swimming and having fun be talking about how babies are conceived?"
Larion said, "They were telling us that they were glad we were all part of the family and we started asking questions about families and ..."
Quinn rolled his eyes, "Never mind Larion, I get what happened next. They got themselves into a pickle trying to explain how babies are born so they want Eve and I to do it for them."
Larion, Melic and Gollum looked at each other and asked, "What pickle?"
Eve leaned back in her chair and just started laughing.
About two hours later Jon, James, Guy and Reg came slinking back from the stables. Eve and Quinn were sitting with Larion, Melic and Gollum drinking iced tea and laughing about something. As soon as the guys walked on the porch they each got a quick slap on the back of their heads as payment for sticking Eve and Quinn with the job of explaining the facts of life.
Gollum laughed so hard he fell backwards off the porch causing the others to laugh even harder. Eve turned to Quinn as she said, "It's great to see these guys laugh and have fun isn't it, we really are a family now."
Quinn looked at Eve and burst out laughing, "Yes Eve, I believe we really are a family now."
The End
