Carlo Russo is having the worst day. Not only has he lost his job, caught his boyfriend cheating, and had one too many shots with his best friend Grace, now he’s seeing aliens too. Big, black, tail-equipped aliens. After a futile struggle, he and Grace find themselves on a spaceship leaving Earth. Zenon Scoreceds Qhainqons doesn’t know what it is about the earthling male. Their mission is to bring back ten females in hopes of them being able to provide their planet with children, but he wants the male. What he’s going to do with the male, he doesn’t know, but he’s claiming him as his payment for going on the mission. Carlo doesn’t approve of kidnapping, but the aliens aren’t too bad, and once the language chip is installed, he finds it entertaining to talk to them. Zen in particular. They’re standoffish and never show any emotion, but Carlo has no problem cuddling up next to Zen at night. All Zenon wants is to spend time with Carlo, but it’s his job to get them all home in one piece. Will he be able to keep Carlo safe from all the dangers lurking along the trip? He has to because Carlo is his, and he’s not letting him go.

There Will Be Aliens

He moved his hand and pinched Zenon’s other nipple while sucking on the one by his mouth. A lightning shot from his nipples to his sex and Zenon buried his claws in the mattress. “Carlo.”


“Yes?” Carlo showed his teeth when he looked at him. “More? Less? Something else?” His hand slid down his abdomen and Zenon tilted his hips. Carlo made his low, almost-laugh and kissed his way down from his nipple to his hip. Zenon watched, half wanting him to continue, half fearing he’d bite him. He licked the ridge of his hip bone, and Zenon breathed through a sound.


“Did you purr?” Carlo’s head shot up and he stared at him with wide eyes. The word didn’t translate, so Zenon didn’t know what he was asking. When he didn’t answer, Carlo frowned. “The sound you made, what do you call it?”


Zenon didn’t know. “I don’t know if we have a name for it.” Maybe in the old scriptures, there was something. He’d heard no one do it in ages, not since he’d become an adult.
