The Human Bearer

He was back to his quarters, lying on his belly, the pain in his backside still strong. Kyle was moving quietly around him, injecting him with seth from time to time, but only into his belly. Riordan could only assume that Kanto had instructed Kyle to keep the Xenolite unaware of the distress the one who carried him felt. None of that mercy was spared for him.

In hindsight, maybe he deserved it. Not the spanking and the humiliation, but the reminder that he was alone in here. He had Kyle, and he had to be thankful that Kanto hadn't decided to leave him without his bot, but they could both be squashed like bugs by that dreadful Xeno. Suddenly, Xana seemed so far away from him that it made him cry. Good thing he had his bot. If he thought about it, it was a miracle that he still had his homie with him.

"Did he do something to you?" he asked in a raspy voice. He had shouted and cried at the end, all shame forgotten. There was no pride left in him. To his relief, no one had laughed. They had looked too stunned and frightened for it.

"No, Master Rio. But he forbade me for giving you more seth than what's needed to protect the egg. I thought of pleading with him but reconsidered. As long as he believes me to be a dumb bot, we're better off, I'd say."

Riordan put one thumb up but his hand moved as if in slow motion. "I'm so tired. Good call, Kyle. I'm surprised he left you with me."

"It appears that Master Vai has clear instructions regarding this detail. He cannot remove me as your companion. Also, there seem to be no spares. All the bearers are here with their bots, but, otherwise, there are only guards and other personal in charge of meals and general maintenance. The only alternative to me would be to leave you with a few guards, but that's difficult, seeing how the lizards in the employ of this ship have no training for caring for a bearer."

"Too bad he doesn't have instructions not to kick my ass," Riordan found it in himself to joke.

"We have our moves limited. We can only go out at dinner."

"I don't think I can sit. Can't you arrange something? Synthesize an apple or two? I'd take anything at this point."

"I'm afraid I cannot help you, Master Rio. Our lord and commander was very specific that he would see you at dinner."

"Fuck that guy," Riordan spat with rancor. "He's such a fucking asshole."

Yeah, he was, but there was little to be done about that. Kanto Vai was, until further notice, the guy in charge and he had everyone's fate in his hand. Apparently, that Xeno cared about his duty just as far as that meant in terms of his snake brain. He detested bearers, obviously, or was it only human bearers? Did he have one of his own? Some lizard queen on a far-off planet? "Hey, Kyle," he decided to ask his bot, "does our lord and commander have a bearer for his nasty egg?"

"No, Master Vai hasn't taken a bearer yet."

"He looks pretty old to me. What is he waiting for?"

"I do not know," Kyle offered honestly.

"Are there many Xenos like him? You know, without bearers?"

"Those that dedicate their lives to the betterment of the Xeno society appear more frequent in such statistics."

"Married to his job. Why doesn't that surprise me?" Riordan said with a huff and closed his eyes. Fuck, his ass hurt. The fucker had used a paddle or something like that. Not one to touch the filthy human bearer, right? Fucking asshole.

"I'm not allowed to give you more seth," Kyle said apologetically.

"I get it." Riordan sucked in a breath. "It's part of my punishment, I suppose. Right?" Kyle didn't reply right away, which made him look over his shoulder. "Didn't he tell you that? He looks to me like a bastard who enjoys adding insult to injury."

"That is not it, Master Rio," Kyle supplied dutifully. "Although I don't have clearance for analyzing or even accessing this kind of information, I have conducted some research. It appears that seth is strictly rationed on Tu'lek."

This time, Riordan turned on one side to stare properly at Kyle. "Are you sure? This is a bit scary. Why would it be rationed? Fuck me. We're here with only... wait, I don't remember seeing any other Xeno save for Kanto."

"I haven't identified any other Xeno either," Kyle confirmed. "And the chain of command is very short. Under Master Vai come the guards, and under the guards the maintenance personal made from various species, highly specialized."

"And us, bearers, the bottom feeders."

"Bottom feeders?" Kyle asked slowly. Then, he appeared to have checked something. "I see. But bearers are precious. They are not considered to be the last rung of the Xeno society ladder."

"I don't think so. And I'm saying bottom feeders because it looks like we all have to kiss, lick and eat this fucker's ass to get by. So, where does the seth you're giving me come from?"

"Supplies already stored on Tu'lek when the rescue operation began."

"And when those are gone?"

"They are rationed. They won't be gone for a while."

"Yeah, but we seem to have no clear destination, and it also appears that we're basically running from any other Xeno in existence, save for our master fucker. Don't tell me I'll have to suck on Kanto's tail when the supplies run out."

"I cannot tell you that," Kyle replied promptly.

"I know. You're too nice to tell me like it is. I think I'll try to catch some sleep until dinner."

"Good choice, Master Rio. I will wake you up."

***

As expected, dinner had been pure torture. Riordan had settled for sitting with his legs folded under him to relieve some of the pressure on his buttocks. He hadn't dared to look, but he had to be black and blue by now. He had kept his head down throughout the meal, for no better reason that he didn't want to draw more of Kanto's attention and heavy hand. Maybe the fucker had vented off some of that anger he carried with him, and now he was chill. However, Riordan didn't want to take any chances.

When everyone got up, he followed, with Kyle in tow.

"Riordan," he heard the fucker calling out for him. Kanto had supervised their meal, as always, while he gorged on insects and worms. The few bearers sitting close to him ate with their eyes in their bowls, not out of respect, but something else. From what Riordan had glanced, Kanto ate slowly, crunching each insect between his teeth or swallowing each worm with such precise moves of the hand and mouth that he looked like an automaton. All the while, his inquisitive eyes scanned the place, probably for signs of insubordination.

He didn't say a thing and only prayed not to be subject to more punishment. The pain was still with him, and, obviously, because they had seth, they most likely didn't have any kind of painkillers on board of the ship. He presented himself to Kanto quietly, without raising his head. "Yes, master?" he asked politely.

It was all he could muster without feeling like puking.

"Starting tonight, you will have a special duty."

Hopefully, it didn't involve sucking this fucker's dick because he had no idea if he could stomach it.

"Follow me," Kanto said and began slithering his way out of the mess hall.

Riordan obeyed without a word. In a way, he wanted it to have it done if more punishment awaited him. Agonizing over what would come next wasn't like him.

***

They had walked for quite a while through a labyrinth of hallways that appeared to reach further into the belly of Tu'lek. Riordan wondered briefly just how large the ship was, because it was obviously a ship.

"You have no understanding of the greater good," Kanto suddenly said, although he hadn't said a word throughout their trip together. "I will put that energy of yours to good use."

With that, he stopped in front of a large metallic door that opened in front of him with a hiss. Riordan stole a glance at Kyle, who had followed without being asked to, or forbidden from doing so. The bot couldn't help him with words of encouragement, but, at least, he was there.

"Your bot remains here," Kanto announced.

Fuck, it was just getting better and better. Riordan squeezed Kyle's metallic arm for a moment and walked inside after Kanto.

At first, he was surprised at the vastness of the room. The next thing he noticed was the large container in the middle. And in it, there was a sight he had seen before.

Lewis was inside, his belly now unrecognizable from those many eggs. He appeared to float, a look of perfect bliss on his face. He also seemed asleep, his eyes closed.

"So, you took him, as well. He might need a lot of seth, though. How is he doing without his husbands?" Riordan asked.

"Husbands?" Kanto said the word curiously.

"The guys who fucked him and put their eggs inside him," Riordan supplied right away.

"I should have your tongue for speaking out of turn and in such a disgusting fashion. This Earthian must serve his purpose till the end. It was requested specifically by His Royal Chancellor to have him on board."

"Sorry for the bad language and all, but you still didn't answer my question. What is he going to do without the guys that got him preggo? Something tells me he's a special needs case."

Kanto slithered his way until he was in front of the container. He stood there, hands behind his back and appeared to look inside. "That you may say he is. If this experiment is successful, we can become more efficient in using your inferior bodies."

Riordan felt chilled to the bone. "What the... do you mean?" he asked, swallowing the usual fuck midway. "Are we going to be forced to carry dozens of eggs at the same time?"

"You have no other use anyway. I hold no weakness regarding your kind, unlike some of my brethren."

"You know, Master," Riordan said sarcastically, "the way you speak smells of betrayal from thousands of miles away."

Kanto half-turned to stare at him. "Betrayal? Strange that you use the word, seeing what you tried to start only today."

Riordan chose not to argue. "Just tell me what I'm here for. And please, don't say that you intend to turn me into some kind of breeding farm pig right away."

"As much as the perspective might slightly amuse me, no." Kanto had turned back to staring at Lewis in his big water tank. "You will ensure that the other bearers here, on Tu'lek, can enjoy fresh seth daily."

Riordan made a disgusted face. "I'm not going to suck your dick, what the hell?"

Kanto sighed as if he couldn't bother himself with further correcting Riordan for bad language. "A dirty mouth like yours would be cleansed by something like that. I have no intention to disgrace myself with the likes of you, as I said."

Only a Xeno would say his cum and seth are holy water or something like that. Riordan kept the thought to himself.

"No," Kanto continued. "But you will be in charge of collecting seth."

"From whom? You? I'm not going to suck your tail, either."

"No, not me." Kanto turned again, but away from Riordan. "From them."

He heard the sound before seeing. He took a step back as he took in half a dozen of young Xenos slithering their way towards him, with hungry looks on their faces. Was that how prey about to be swallowed felt like? He was paralyzed, glued in place. His knees were noodles, and he didn't feel the strength to run or fight coming to him through the complex chemistry of his body.

They looked like those young Xenos that had harassed him and Tasha at the shopping center, what seemed like decades ago. They wore nothing, unlike Kanto who wore a buttoned up tunic of a deep green color.

Their hair was various shades of very light blond, and one of them had a full head of white hair. Their eyes would have made him innocent enough if not for that mischievous glint in them. Unlike Xana and Kanto, their eyes seemed to be blue. Were they brothers or something? No, that couldn't be. They didn't do siblings well on Xeno.

"What do you want to do to me?" Riordan didn't have it in him to throw the threat of Xana learning about his mistreatment. As Kanto had so chillingly pointed out, Xana wasn't there, but he was, and now he most probably wanted Riordan to perform some disgusting acts with these Xenos.

Kanto didn't waste a reply on him. Instead, he moved in front of the young Xenos, who stopped and stared at him, tight-lipped and looking sideways at the one who had to be their lord and commander, too. "I leave him to you. Make sure the quota is met."

Quota. Riordan didn't like the sound of it. Could he really fight against six able-bodied Xenos? He couldn't fight one, unless he had the element of surprise on his side, and the second step of the plan was to run as fast as he could.

The metallic door opened and closed with the same hydraulic hiss as Kanto stepped out.

Riordan took one step backwards and put his hands up. "Now, listen here," he said in a breathless whisper, "I'm Counselor Xana Lei's bearer. I can get all your asses canned for whatever you plan to do to me. Just saying."

One of them, the one with the deepest blue eyes laughed and threw his head back. "Xana's not here, right? That means," he said and moved close to him, "that we can play with you."

"Lakni, stop scaring him. They don't get hard when you scare them," another said from behind.

It was the one with the white hair. At a closer look, Riordan realized that he hadn't seen correctly the first time. This one had deep crimson red eyes. A sort of albino in their world?

"You and your weird inclinations, Blaise," Lakni commented. "Let's see if this bearer has something ready for you."

Riordan gasped as Lakni moved behind him, wrapped one arm around him, over his chest, to avoid his belly, and then used his other hand to flip upwards the hem of his long robe. He whimpered as Lakni played with his cock, flaunting it, although he was completely limp. "Ah, damn," the Xeno commented, "it looks to me like this one is nothing like our bearer."

Another Xeno laughed. "Yes, it is enough for Blaise to look at gamenos, and he makes himself hard right away."

"What's that you said?" Riordan asked, trying to get those Xenos to understand that he was a feeling, thinking creature, just like them.

Lakni cupped his chin from below and licked his cheek slowly. Then, he directed Riordan's head to look at the water tank. "Our beloved."

That word appeared to trigger a certain reaction in the whole group, because they laughed and made all kinds of endearing sounds like teenage girls talking about a crush.

"You love him? Love is an Earthian concept," Riordan talked rapidly.

"Yes, we like the concept," Lakni replied matter-of-factly.

The younger they were, the more likely not to share the same rigid views of their parents, it seemed.

"But you don't love me," Riordan pointed out. "So, maybe we can work something out. I can milk your seth. You know, you look at your beloved, and I pull the seth from your tails."

"We need proper stimulation," Lakni explained in a very professional tone as he continued to lick Riordan's cheek and neck. "And you have such a wonderful belly." This time, he dared to touch Riordan's abdomen, caressing it and taking in its form with his hand.

Blaise appeared fascinated by his limp dick nonetheless, and he was right below, cupping Riordan's balls and licking them slowly. The others gathered around and helped Lakni get him out of his robe. Now, he was completely naked and exposed. Even worse, Blaise's expert licking was getting him hard against his better judgement. The licking stopped but only so that Blaise could engulf his entire cock in his mouth. Riordan moaned, horrified at the sound of his own voice, and turned his head.

That didn't help him because he found himself eye to eye with another Xeno, one with crazy odd eyes -- one green, one blue. Were they... some sort of anomalies? Riordan had thought all Xenos to be perfect, but he had obviously not paid enough attention to them.

The odd-eyed Xeno didn't waste a moment. He placed his tongue in Riordan's mouth and started kissing him. It shouldn't have felt this good, but there was no way for him to resist. Riordan felt the sweet seth being poured on his tongue. The pain in his body was fading away already. Wait, was he supposed to gorge on all this seth when he was there to help meeting that quota or something?

He couldn't think beyond that. The pleasure that moves through him like electric eels blasted him with the force of an exploding sun. Without Xana, he had been deprived of touch, of sex, and now, that he was being given it, in the shape of a crazy Xeno sucking his cock, and another sucking his face, he came without resistance.

"This really does work," one commented, and Riordan opened one eye to see one of the young Xenos putting his tail into a tall container. The smell of seth entered his nose, making him feel light-headed.

"It sure does," Blaise said and followed, while wiping his mouth of Riordan's cum with the back of his hand. He took his place by another container, and although he was holding the tip of his tail in what looked like an obscene fashion, he looked over his shoulder at him and winked, his lips curled in a smirk.

Finally, his tongue and mouth were released. Riordan stared into the odd eyes. "By the way, I'm Vasko. And you," he said while rubbing his thumb into Riordan's mouth for saliva or who knew what else, "taste good, Earthian."

Riordan watched in disbelief as Vasko followed the others and grabbed his own container to fill. It was as if he was watching the strangest kind of porn.

"What do we do with our seed?" another asked. Riordan noticed that he was the shortest of the group. He had a lithe body and wore a wicked smile. "Can we release it on his beautiful belly?"

"Fuck off," Riordan said and struggled against Lakni's hold.

They all laughed and he could do nothing as he was forced on his back on the floor, each of his legs and arms being held apart from him.

"I'm first," Lakni announced. He stood tall above him, milking his cock, which looked frighteningly big from that angle.

Riordan closed his eyes as the young Xeno began spraying cum all over his body. He didn't have that much of a perfect aim, so some of the drops landed on his chest and face. Fuck, they were using him. He couldn't protest, obviously.

Author's note:

@cannd - more answers will be provided - through the mouth of various characters. Rio doesn't know everything and he's working with bits and pieces at this point. More information will emerge in the future.

@kingmcqueen - lol, betting on Kanto's chances of survival? There will be even worse alien dudes than him. He's got his place in the story.

@geemeedee - lol, I didn't think of the angle about the drug making the pain worse. That would ruin Rio's taste for getting spanked, for sure. One thing I'll answer about the tsunami - since it won't count as spoilers - Xenos love water, and they can breathe under it, so that was not an issue for them.
