So don\u2019t worry about getting it wrong,\u201d Kiy tells me this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe is now sat back how he was before. \u201cWhat are your questions?\u201d He ask his siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHow old are you? Are you old enough to be with Phe?\u201d That question strikes interest in the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe is with you?\u201d Lenime asked Phe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes. She is my mate,\u201d All his siblings seem surprised, but all stand up took turns hugging me and even his father and mother again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can quite honestly say I have never been hugged as much as I have been today. Koya did too, but her hug is more of the \u2018I\u2019m going to pick you up and steal you,\u2019 type of hug. I think that is just because &#8211; as she put it &#8211; I am her tiny sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re already fully bonded?\u201d I think it is Phlepa who&#8217;s asking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t you tell?\u201d Koya points to my mark. \u201cGold.\u201d They seem impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot that I am not happy for you both. She is a very beautiful and seems like a nice girl, but is she old enough?\u201d The oldest brother, Tou asks concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom what I can tell she seems to be a fully developed adult female,\u201d Ren answers for me, but he looks to me for the answer still anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYes, I am more than old enough. I am twenty-six-years-old, I know I am small compared to your species but I am normal for a female of mine,\u201d I tell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTwenty-six? But you are tiny. I was sure you were much younger,\u201d The same man says in shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou really are my baby sister,\u201d Koya cooes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy? How old are you?\u201d I asks her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFifty-years-old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is some kind of Vulcan stuff\u2026\u201d I mumble to myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou seem surprised?\u201d Kiy asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur youngest Lenime is forty-four.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am. I mean, if I wish I would look that good at when I am her age\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Confused looks\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy species age a lot faster than that,\u201d I begin but I am interrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I did a body scan it showed the same rate of aging as us,\u201d Ren states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAaron said there was some \u2018unforeseen side effects\u2019 remember? That could be one of them,\u201d Phe surprisingly reminds me. He sounds almost hopeful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAaron?\u201d One of the twins ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHer brother. There are moving images and other information on them data storage devices we found.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaybe there will be more information. We will check after we are finished here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is Phe and Koya speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised. There is a lot of medical and other pieces I skipped through. Not to mention the two I have to fix,\u201d I think out loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can do that?\u201d One of the sisters asks sounding surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course she can. Who do you think built the thing to read them in the first place?\u201d Phe says confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe just presumed it was Koya,\u201d The same sister answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wish. I couldn\u2019t make sense of the things. It was all Amber. I only brought her the things she asked for,\u201d Koya confesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s really smart. I didn\u2019t understand a thing she was doing.\u201d I almost laughed but bit my lip and hold it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who would have ever thought an alien as advanced as them would say that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am sure it isn\u2019t true, but I love Phe for saying it anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can believe that,\u201d His younger brother laughs from beside him. \u201cYou always have been a bit dumb.\u201d Phe elbows him, but he continues to laugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWas that your job before?\u201d I have lost track of their names. All I know is it is one of Phe\u2019s older brothers who asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was part of my job to maintain the machines I worked on because the work I was doing was confidential.\u201d I went on to explain my job and what it was. Then what happened for me to end up in the storage. Yes, that\u2019s how I think of it. They put me in storage. \u201cAnd then I woke up here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat were you working on at the time?\u201d Ren asks me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom what I was told it was meant to be something that would heightened peoples immune system and general health. But when the accident happened in wasn\u2019t even close to the testing stage,\u201d I explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBelieve it or not but Lenime actually does similar work to you. He will assist you in analysing the results,\u201d Kiy tells us and the son in question agrees without protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow to a happier note\u2026\u201d Ren is smiling at me, it kind of worries me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow you are fully bonded when are we to expect a first heat and little ones?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t even need the heat on my cheeks to tell me I am blushing, the intense look of everyone is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMother, you are embarrassing her,\u201d Phe says answering everyone\u2019s silent question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s interesting,\u201d I hear someone mumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd as for heat in Humans\u2026 That is her species. They don\u2019t go into heat,\u201d Phe pauses and looks as though he is thinking about something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat reminds me. I went in the medical bay and took a \u2018Drasico\u2019 capsule out to give to Amber.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m guessing that is the fast healing pill he gave me earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou hurt her already?\u201d Ren frowns at her son. \u201cNot intentionally,\u201d He mumbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kiy looks ready to scold him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t really his fault,\u201d I say not wanting him to be scolded for something that is normal among humans and that is what I told them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNormal? How so?\u201d Koya asks me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t really fancy the idea of telling them but Phe had other ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI broke her Hymen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh great, here we go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHymen? What\u2019s that?\u201d Ren asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mentally pray he would keep quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly unlike the many mate stories I have read he cannot read my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a\u2026\u201d I place my hand over his mouth before he can say too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll tell you later,\u201d I told her and I turn to Phe. \u201cQuiet,\u201d Is all I whisper. But he seems to get the hint. His eyes widen. \u201cSorry, love. I didn\u2019t\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I kiss his lips to shut him up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pull back to see everyone watching us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t you tell us now?\u201d Koya asks me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As did Lenime. I internally groan knowing I will end up having to tell them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I gave Phe a look which said, \u2018I\u2019m going to kill you later,\u2019 before explaining to the whole of his family about the Human females sexual organs. Talk about embarrassing. My face would have been like a beetroot if I didn\u2019t cut reality out and go into professional mode. \u2018These are just curious students I am teaching. There is no need to have a panic attack,\u2019 I keep repeating over and over in my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of them have unreadable expressions\u2026 I\u2019m not sure if that is good or not yet\u2026. I\u2019ll get back to you on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Koya, Lenime and his parents all wore very creepy smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His mother is the first one to speak. Might I add with a bit too much enthusiasm. \u201cCan I see?\u201d My eyes widen. \u201cI know it\u2019s gone I just want to see where it was before and what an \u2018uncapped\u2019 one looked like,\u201d She quickly adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Uncapped,\u2019 I mentally laughed. She makes it sound like a bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMother,\u201d Phe says in a warning tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His father and some of the others chuckle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I know my brother he\u2019s probably put porn on one of the data stick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is porn?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Great, Amber! Just keep putting yourself out there don\u2019t you,\u2019 I scold myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explaining porn is even more fun than explain what a hymen is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenime and Ren would have dragged me out of the room to fix the sticks and see if I could recover any of the sordid videos, that is if Phe wasn&#8217;t holding me on his lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The others laugh and find it \u2018interesting\u2019 and want a showing if I find any. I swear the whole bunch of them, males and females alike are perverts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone of them insist on giving their \u2018new sister\u2019 a hug before I leave the room with Phe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They all seem to like me and are really kind, except for the fact that more than one said they have young child bigger than me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The women like Koya think I am some kind of living doll. Cue the eye roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The men aren\u2019t much better. But they are all harmless, despite their intimidating statue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe agrees that the pair of us will attend a family dinner later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But right now Phe\u2019s father is having a word with me before I am dragged where ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know that we are different to what you are probably used to, but I promise they mean no harm. It\u2019s just in our species families are very open with each other. We understand that it can take you time to transition and we take no offence to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually feel better after he has finished speaking to me. He seems like the most normal out of the lot\u2026 Apart from my Phe\u2026 Alright, I may have spoken too soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because right after Kiy finished his sentence Phe took it upon his self to repeatedly lick my cheek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As though sensing my confusion Ren who is standing beside her husband whispers to me. \u201cIt\u2019s a way for mates to show their affection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She and Kiy look pleased with what he is doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By this point most of his siblings hadve left to do their jobs, except Koya and Lenime who insisted on waiting because they want to make sure we go to try and \u2018fix\u2019 the corrupted memory sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thank them both for helping and leave the room, Phe\u2019s younger siblings in toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phe has stopped licking my cheek now that we are walking but holding me close to his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t ask me what came over me, but I have the sudden urge to\u2026 Well, I stop, moveib front of him and kiss him, literally sticking my tongue in his mouth. Not that he seems to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the large height difference Phe has to bend over normally or be sat down, but not this time because I have jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist and he is cupping my bottom and eagerly kissing me back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre you sure Humans don\u2019t go into heat?\u201d I hear an amused voice say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try to pull back but Phe decides he doesn\u2019t want me to and moves one of his hands from my backside and up my back holding me in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can\u2019t help but giggling as he moves his lips from mine, down to my neck and he begins nibbling softly on the skin behind my ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering his teeth are so sharp he is so gentle. Not once getting carried away and piercing my skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have to bite my lip to stop myself from moaning, but that isn\u2019t a problem for long because he moves his mouth and begins licking my cheek again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is it that this makes me more embarrassed than when I was almost dry humping him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel my cheeks heating up as he begins to carry me down the corridor, but thankfully he is no longer licking me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can walk,\u201d I tell him. \u201cI know,\u201d He says making no move to put me down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou going to put me down?\u201d I ask trying to sound annoyed, but I can\u2019t he is just too sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He doesn\u2019t even think about it. \u201cNo. I like carrying you.\u201d I look to his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to carry you from now on.\u201d He looks serious but I have no idea if he is or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He turns his head to look to his younger siblings as they walk into the lift to go to the correct floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease tell me he is joking?\u201d I ask them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Koya shakes her head but Lenime speaks, \u201cI\u2019m afraid Phe doesn\u2019t know the meaning,\u201d He sounds amused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut on the bright side you never have to worry about anyone bumping into you because they didn\u2019t see you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat wouldn\u2019t happen because Phe wouldn\u2019t leave her side and everyone other than us don\u2019t get any closer than three feet as they are all scared of him,\u201d Koya grins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow you say it\u2026\u201d I think out loud. \u201c\u2026 I have noticed how even though they look curious of me the moment they notice Phe they back up, put their heads down and always greet him respectfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAre you surprised?\u201d Lenime asks me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNot really. He scared me for the first few hours after I met him, especially when I couldn\u2019t understand a word he said and he started to randomly lick my face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lift door opened and he laughed, \u201cThat would scare anyone,\u201d He jokes.
