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

“You, erm…” Zen cleared his throat. “…did that with Ryan?”


“Many times.” It wasn’t a question.


“Yes. Did you like it?” He winced. Sounding needy was the last thing he wanted right now.


It was not a yes, but it wasn’t a no either. “I guess they are.”


Carlo grinned. “It’s normally the case with tongues.”


Zen looked straight into his eyes for several seconds.


“You’re making me a little nervous, Zen.” His voice was hoarse.


“I don’t know what you want. If you’d been Ryan, I’d kissed your throat, caressed your belly, and maybe cupped your dick. I’d work my way downward…But I don’t know if you want me to touch you or not.”  11


Kiss his throat? There were tales about people biting each other in the olden days, but Zenon had never understood why you would allow someone with teeth close to your throat when it could be the last thing you ever did.
