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.

He never wanted to put Carlo in danger, but should he be ordered to go on a mission, Carlo now got to come with him.


It would be the same for Ghurva and Grace. Their mating would also be acknowledged. If Ghurva were to go on more missions with them, Grace would follow. It was a good thing. There seldom passed a day without Grace and Carlo seeing each other. He didn’t think Carlo would want to leave unless Grace got to come along.


The last mission had been a nightmare. He’d been gone for three months and hadn’t been able to sleep properly. He’d almost attacked his crew and had feared he was going insane.
