◇ ◆ ◇

We found a bedroom within the Space Station and climbed onto the bed with solemn determination, kneeling upon its surface. From this moment forward, the grand affair I’d been anticipating for nearly three years would finally commence. Gerth had fumbled about trying to feed me properly, but an affair was an affair regardless.
“Evan. I apologize, but I don’t know the human way. I’ll do this my own way.”
“That’s exactly what I hoped for!”
My enthusiastic response made Gerth laugh with delight. Though he insisted he wasn’t human, his vertical reptilian pupils drew so close my heart nearly burst—yet I endured. His overlapping lips parted to admit a tongue thinner and more nimble than any human’s, and I nearly cried out in exultation, but I held that back too.
However, kissing without drawing breath for five minutes and thirty seconds was beyond what my lungs could bear.
“Mmph! Ugh!”
I pounded Gerth’s back, pleading for air, but he showed no sign of stopping. More troubling was how strange this lizard demi-human had become. His vertical pupils had narrowed far more than before, becoming thread-thin slits while his crimson irises bulged enormous—as though he’d reverted to some primal state. His eyes had gone completely wild.
“Gasp! Inhale!”
Gerth’s cold hands slithered across my entire body like serpents. As his fingers, which had slipped beneath my sleeves, ventured deeper, my outer garment tore away of its own accord, buttons scattering like hail before my clothes simply burst apart under the force of his movements.
Reduced to tatters in an instant, I gasped for breath for roughly ten minutes, and just as I managed to steady my breathing, he’d bite my neck and then my head. Had I not possessed a resilient body, flesh would have been torn away. Perhaps this was why I’d desired such a durable physique.
“Hah, ah, mmm.”
Having reverted to a feral state and seemingly forgotten human speech, Gerth aroused himself and pressed against me. The two vital areas that had grown monstrously swollen rubbed insistently, and his head nuzzled affectionately as he began caressing me with deliberate tenderness from his fingertips onward.
At first it was merely ticklish and endearing, but the sudden recollection that reptiles mate continuously for an entire week sent a chill down my spine.

My suspicion proved correct. Throughout the entire day, Gerth pursued pleasure with enthusiastic utilization of every part of his body. Whenever I uttered sounds of distress, he’d deliberately act cute, kiss me, and rub his head against mine to weaken my resolve before continuing his endeavors. Was this what they called Polynesian something-or-other? It was exhausting. Physically I wasn’t yet fatigued, but maintaining constant mental tension wore me down. When would this mating ever end?

◇ ◆ ◇

By the second day, Gerth began secreting copious amounts of viscous fluid. When our bodies pressed together, I felt extraordinarily calm and content. My rationality seemed on the verge of dissolution. I surrendered my reason without resistance.

◇ ◆ ◇

I’d lost count of the days, but we’d become utterly bestial. We’d continue until hunger struck, then eat, then resume. To think I’d gone so long without experiencing this bliss—what a waste of my life. If only my stomach wouldn’t grow empty, I could do this forever. I ate my fill to prolong the pleasure, then returned to writhing with Gerth. Caught up in the fervor, I even bit his head hard, and Gerth seemed absolutely delighted by it.
We lost all sense of time.

◇ ◆ ◇

Curled up in the center of a nest made from piled blankets and clothes, Gerth slept soundly—an adorable sight, but it was time to return from the wild to civilization.
“Gerth. Wake up.”
I tapped both his cheeks with my palms, and as his pupils gradually dilated, reason returned to his eyes. Still drowsy, he grinned hazily and nuzzled his head against me, rubbing it back and forth.
“Waaah!”
“Evan, again?”
When I playfully bit his neck, he interpreted it as an invitation to continue and wrapped his arms around my neck, gauging whether I was willing. Of course, what I did with Gerth was exquisite, but returning to Earth was the priority.
“There’s no more soup. Only solid rations left.”
“That’s a serious problem.”
A meal without broth was indeed dire for both Gerth and me. Realizing the emergency, Gerth pinched his own cheeks firmly to regain clarity, then headed straight for the Shower Room.
“Wash up and let’s go.”
“Understood.”
I entered the Shower Room with Gerth, and we washed thoroughly and meticulously, dried each other’s hair, then changed into plain casual clothes and spacesuits. Now all I had to do was board the lifeboat, go to Ursu, and ask to be sent home.
“Evan.”
“Hmm?”
“How was the mating?”
“It was wonderful! I want to do it again!”
“I’m grateful to hear you say that.”
Gerth’s concern from the beginning until now had focused solely on whether I possessed the physical and mental stamina to endure this act. As I demonstrated my willingness to continue through this experience, Gerth exhaled with relief, as if a great burden had been lifted.
“Actually, I was afraid you’d come to hate me because of this.”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“Wasn’t it me who insisted on doing it first?”
“Still, I thought you’d refuse once we actually started.”
“I stand by my words.”
“Yes, you’re quite responsible, Evan.”
Not yet fully returned from the wild, Gerth smiled broadly and embraced me from behind. Showing no intention of letting go, I sat in the lifeboat with him clinging to me and set course for Ursu.
“Next time we do this formally, I’ll prepare food myself and wait.”
“Formally?”
“When mating properly, the male must always prepare a nest and provisions.”
Wait, that’s not what I meant. If what we just did was informal, does that mean the formal version would be an even more extraordinary experience? I internally cheered and pulled the booster. As we approached Ursu’s main body, a massive hologram greeted us.

Celebration) Successful First Night (Part 2

Though sound couldn’t travel through the vacuum of space, it seemed she’d prepared quite the spectacle—holographic fireworks and all.
“Did you brats have fun?!”
My mother-in-law certainly had a spirited nature. Gerth and I gave her a modest affirmation that yes, we’d enjoyed ourselves immensely, then promptly requested passage back to Earth. We had our next mating season waiting for us.
“It’d be more fun to tease you if at least one of you showed some embarrassment.”
“Mother-in-law, I have a proposal, given what happened recently.”
Because of the trouble that spoiled Cha Cha had caused, I’d been meaning to offer Ursula some advice. Since we were meeting face-to-face anyway, I decided to voice what I’d been holding back.
“A proposal?”
“Don’t show favoritism to Cha Cha alone. Gerth, Samryong, and the Machine King are your children too.”
Whether it was the project to find Cha Cha friends or anything else, you only listened to Cha Cha’s requests and granted him conveniences. I’d brought it up out of concern that your other children might feel hurt, and it seemed to have struck Ursula rather hard.
“But the other children don’t ask me for anything.”
“Then reach out to them first and ask what they need. You’re their mother, after all.”
With that final word, I requested our return. The omnipotent Mother Goddess Ursula acknowledged she would consider my words and transported us back to the Serpent King’s Tower.
