“I will leave you to… do whatever you had plans to do,” he replied. “I know you were in the middle of… I won’t write you up this time and leave you with a warning after everything that has happened today, but next time, answer the door decent.”
Xizi looked down at his body of choice and shrugged. “It won’t happen again.”
“Good.” The officer nodded and turned away. “Good night,” he said, his attention on the commotion outside.
“Good luck, Officer.” Xizi slowly closed the glass door and locked it, breathing deeply. That was too close, but somehow, his plan worked.
Xizi went to the front of the dwelling to watch the police officers pack up their things to leave. He cracked the window, hoping to catch any news of his clutchmates.
“I am not an alien! I am a U.S. citizen,” the arrested male shouted. Xizi was shocked to see him without his big black eyes and gray head. After all, he was human, dressed strangely like the others he’d encountered in the city. “There was an alien in there! Didn’t you see it?”
“The only thing alien was the size of that guy’s cock,” muttered a random officer. “I’m going to work really hard to get it out of my head.”
“This is what you get for carrying narcotics, dressed up as an alien while taking them,” the officer said. “You should have thought your plan through first before trying to get away with it on a night like tonight.”
The officer shoved the arrested male into the car and slammed the door.
Xizi didn’t hear anything else as he watched the cops leave and close the window.
Now that the danger was over, he could relax. The fireworks hadn’t started, and hisenaxwasn’t awake yet.
Xizi closed his eyes and dropped his borrowed form, ignoring the abnormal feeling and slight pain that came with it. As the transformation completed, Xizi opened his eyes and tasted the room with his forked tongue.
This was hisenax’sprivate quarters.
Nine
Xizi
Xizi studied her quarters and was shocked by what he saw.
Hisenaxhad an obsession with space. Everything fit the theme well—from the galaxy bedspread to the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling. Pictures of nebulas, shooting stars, and creatures unknown to Xizi filled the walls.
The room was small and cozy, but she clearly was an organized person, using every available surface to place each item in a certain order.
Xizi’s confused gaze landed on the display on the far wall.
Shelves filled with multiple phallic shaped items in clear containers completely covered the wall, from the ceiling to the floor. Under each member was the manhood’s name and a picture of the creature it came from.
Hisenaxwas a bounty hunter who collected her partner’s appendages as prizes and displayed them for all to see.
He knew humans like to hunt game on Earth and display their heads, horns or stuffed bodies, the rarer, the better, but he’d never heard of any species collecting the manhood of whoever they conquered.
Xizi shook his head in denial as he went over each one. There were multiple pictures and appendages that matched those species he met before, but their names were all wrong—Myslik: The Rainbow Twesta. Bleqz: The Fiery Vedli. Jixe: The Icy Xeivn.
Xizi’s eyes roamed over the alien memorabilia that adorned Ashley’s walls and shelves. His mind was reeling with confusion and fear, wondering if she was sent to re-capture him and return him.
He couldn’t believe that he had been so foolish, so trusting. How could he have let himself be lured into her home, surrounded by images of the very creatures that she probably collected or wanted the bounty for?
He needed to take her with him, no matter what and let the Verya serve her justice—there was no other option.
Xizi’s mind was reeling with confusion and hurt. He couldn’t believe that the person he had been drawn to, the one he had believed he was destined to be with, was a member of the very government that had trapped and experimented on him all those years ago.
Hisenaxmust have used her access to the aliens they captured to study their reproductive systems. It was the only thing he could come up with to explain how she had so many trophies. This explained why she wasn’t afraid of him and was so willing to bond.
Xizi stepped away from the wall, disgusted, and went to where hisenaxlay sleeping peacefully, studying everything about the dwelling along the way. He didn’t know how he missed the obsession with aliens and space.
It was everywhere.
