“I’m not a damn toy,” Ariel was pissed off. “Ral is right. You can’t go to my planet to kidnap women.”

“They are not the same as our women.” Ral frowned.

The younger brother snorted. “No shit.” His lip had stopped bleeding. “She’s built for pure enjoyment. She’s way better than our women. It was so hot watching you do her standing up facing you with her in your arms.” Hyvin Berrr turned this time to punch him. The father hit him hard enough to make him stagger back. Hyvin Berrr growled.

“Enough.” He turned to give Ariel an apologetic look. “He is young and his mouth is run by his lower region. Please forgive his youth.” Ral lifted Ariel from his lap and gently sat her down next to him. He slowly stood up to glare at his youngest brother. “One more word to embarrass Ariel and I will knock you out.” He shot his father a glare. “They do not understand that she is different in more ways than sexually.”

Hyvin Berrr hesitated. “Will you share how?”

“They do not share with others sexually,” Ral tone was quiet. He shot his youngest brother a glare. “That means only one woman to share sex with until death.” He looked back at his father. “She is conscious of her nude body. She won’t walk around naked unless we are alone. It is their way. They need strong emotions from a male to have sex.

She needs strong commitment and attention from me to be happy. I am happy to do it but will others be?”

Ral eyed the quiet brother who had only spoken once. “Rever, they are very uncontrollable. I find it refreshing but most males would take issue with a woman who will not submit on demand. Her kind resists that from what I have learned from her.

She has not conceived so it is doubtful we will have offspring. It matters none to me. I want her more than anything. I know many males demand to bound to women who can provide offspring.”

Argernon smiled. “We will release this information. It will make them think about wanting a female like her no matter how interested they are sexually. It might work.

Otherwise we still will face this problem.”

Rever met Ariel’s eyes. “Is your world very different from ours?” She hesitated. “The water is blue and so is the sky. We only have one moon. The trees are brown for the most part. Men and women are equal. Women fought for that right. We do love a good fight. We have a history of fighting back when we are attacked. If I didn’t love Ral you’d have serious problems with me.”

“She killed one of her attackers,” Ral said in a soft voice. “They will kill to protect themselves. They are a strong people. They deserve our respect. If some of our men wish to find women to bound with it should be voluntary on the female’s part.”

“Agreed,” Hyvin Berrr growled. “We will give them the facts of your female along with the drawbacks. We will say if any wish to attempt to bound to one they must get the female’s permission and do so without giving us away.” The man looked at Ariel.

“Do your people know of us?”

“We think we’re alone in the universe. We suspect and hope that other people exist on other planets but I don’t think we’re ready for someone to openly come to us. It would make them afraid and my people are dangerous when they are afraid. Most would attack what they fear. My planet is divided by many leaders and not all of them are of the same mind. We still have fights between them that sometimes turn into wars.

I think they would attack you if they knew you were there. We haven’t the technology yet to travel too far into space. We’re getting there though. One day perhaps, but I don’t think my people are ready for first contact with your race.”

“What would you suggest?”

She hesitated. Her eyes went to Ral. She loved him. He was everything to her. If some of his men were willing to love one of her kind as much as he loved her, who was she to stand in the way. She turned her eyes to stare at Ral’s father again.

“Swear you’ll make it so the women have to agree to leave with your men?”

“I swear.”

“You’d have to go to remote areas to find women and not allow my people to know you are even there. You’d have to hide your visit. We have great communication systems with portable devices to call for help if need be. We have mechanical eyes in space around my planet that tracks movement. We have weapons. I’d land a small space ship at night. There are tons of sightings of space ships at night in remote areas of the United States. People just think they are crazy when someone says they saw one. No one really takes it that serious unless they have proof. Don’t give them any. We also speak many different languages. I speak English. You will want to make sure you look for a woman who speaks this language so you can understand her. I’m from the United States.”

“We’ll work it out.” Hyvin Berrr nodded at his son. “I made this mess and I will clean it up, Ral. I have set guards around your home to protect your bound. I have asked Rever to take your duties for a few weeks so you can bond with your bound and soothe her from the trauma that happened here today. I never meant for this to happen.

You have my deepest apology, my son. Somehow I will make this up to you.” Ral sighed. “You accept Ariel as my bound?”

Hyvin Berrr bowed low. “I do, my son.” He stayed bowed and his eyes turned to Ariel. “You are to remain bound to my son. I give you my apology as well.”

“Thank you,” Ariel whispered.

“You could make this up to us by making it a priority to integrate the translation program from the aliens into our translation implants. I would like to be able to communicate with Ariel at all times and not just in a room with the current program running on the conis.”

Hyvin Berrr nodded his head at Ral. “Consider it a priority. I will inform medical to put all their staff on it before the day is over.”

“Thank you, Father. Thank you for the guards as well to help me protect Ariel.” Ral pulled Ariel against his body. He was silent as his family and the guards left.

Ariel smiled at Erra as the woman quietly got up and walked toward the kitchen to her bedroom that was on the other side of the house. Ariel and Ral ended up alone in the living room. He sighed.
