bought him a little over a month ago.
Bob hesitated, then reached out and shook hands with me. The tag in his
ear bore different coding than mine and Mark s, lending credence to the
theory that it identified our owner. Hi. He turned to Mark, holding his
arms and effectively trying to shut me out. You want to go swimming? The
pool s really nice right now. He tried to capture Mark s hand, and I had to
hand it to Mark, he was a diplomat.
He gently turned back to me. Bob, Dale s really new, okay? We need
to show him around and introduce him. He had a really rough first drop.
They almost had to operate. He s still trying to get settled in. Okay?
I wished he d left that part out, but it seemed to open Bob s eyes, and he
saw me in a new light. I m sorry! He threw his arms around me, hugging
me. I didn t miss how Mark winked at me. I m just& It s just that I ve been
here over ten years, and Mark s the only human I know who can speak their
language, and
It s okay, Bob, Mark assured him, peeling him off me. It s all right.
Come on, let s show him around.
It looked like I d finally get past the foyer, but his revelation still had
me reeling. Ten years. Obviously he seemed to have adjusted. He acted
more like a pet than Mark did.
Was that a preview of what I d become? It didn t shock me to realize
the prospect didn t bother me in the least.
Again, the whole no pride thing.
The Algonquans, more than thirty of them, had gathered in what looked
like a large, comfortable living room. A couple of them had their human
pets on leashes. The humans looked at us, one of them waved at Mark and
he waved back, but they made no move to escape their owners to join us.
Out back, in a fenced-in yard not quite as large as ours, nine other
humans splashed around in a pool under the supervision of two Algonquans.
Several of the humans, upon seeing Mark, swam over to the side and greeted
him.
My Mark appeared to be very popular.
Their ages ranged from a little younger than me to one man I d guess
was nearly in his sixties. Made sense, if humans had been disappearing for
100 Tymber Dalton
twenty years.
Mark introduced me to them, and they all greeted me warmly. I sat on
the edge of the pool, my legs dangling in the water, and tried to absorb this.
Mark stayed close to my side even though he talked with everyone. A
couple of the men tried to get him to pair off with them, but he politely
declined. No one seemed offended, and the men usually ended up pairing
off with another.
I wasn t sure I could get used to that. Then again, give me ten years and
it might seem perfectly normal.
Mark leaned back on his arms and smiled at me. Jealous? he softly
asked.
I felt my face heat. Yeah. No use lying about it.
He patted me on the thigh. It s okay. Most of them don t have another
human at home. He glanced around and leaned in, whispering in my ear so
none of the other men could hear. Before I had you, I would have been in
there with them.
I felt a different kind of heat rise in me. Yeah?
Yeah. I love you, dumbass. I don t want to fuck around with someone
else now that I ve got you.
So what if I went out there and played around? Not that I wanted to,
but I was curious to see what his reaction would be.
He grinned. I d tell Qhan you weren t playing well with others, and
he d leash you.
You wouldn t?
He waggled his eyebrows at me. Try me. Not like you could tell them I
was lying, right?
I started laughing and hugged him. He stroked my back. I m sorry, he
said, but I m possessive. Master bought you for me, not for them. He
kissed me. I don t want them. I only want you.
I leaned against him, and he draped his arm across my shoulders. We sat
there for a while before Mark led me into the pool. The water felt
comfortably warm, and we swam over to an empty corner. He pulled me
into his arms, hiking my legs up around his hips and sinking his cock into
me. With the water to buoy us, we kissed, my arms wrapped around him as
he fucked me.
It felt good. Totally right.
Acquainted with the Night 101
The Terran government hadn t outlawed homosexuality, but they
discouraged men hooking up with each other. Stupid in my opinion, because
even though I hadn t done it, most men had no other option for
companionship other than another man. Many held on to some false hope
they d one day be allowed to marry and have a family. Most women were
