The Men of Collosia - 4. Chapter 4

When the Saturnian scientists lost contact with Chris and Christa’s ship, they feared the worst, and accepted that the worst had happened. There was an immediate outcry by the public to send a rescue craft. The scientists pointed out that a rescue craft would take over one hundred years to reach D1 and the astronauts would be long dead if they had indeed survived.

There always was the possibility that they had survived, and their children might be alive. They also did not lose sight of the original mission which was to discover and explore the universe in search of intelligent life. After much deliberation, it was decided to send a ship to D1 for exploration, recovery and possible rescue.

When astronomers on Collosia discovered a space craft headed their way, the elder Vasco and Chris were about twenty percent into their life spans, still young by Collosian standards. They were both deeply disturbed at the thought of this new invasion. They spent hours formulating a plan.

The craft landed safely using retro rockets. It landed in the same clearing where the first space craft had crash landed. Chris and Vasco were appointed as a greeting committee. When the space men disembarked from the ship, Chris was relieved to see that there were two men aboard and no women. Everyone on Collosia was naked and he didn’t want to have to shock any women. The men leaving the ship were shocked enough.

He held out his hand to greet them in Saturnian fashion, and spoke in his native tongue. He knew they spoke his language because their space ship came from his native land. He gave them his name and they gave him theirs.

“You can remove your breathing apparatus,” he told them. “You will have no trouble breathing our air. And please put away your weapons. There are no weapons on Collosia. We live in peace.” Several men appeared out of nowhere, and before the astronauts knew what happened, they were relieved of their weapons. The weapons were disassembled before their eyes and then pounded to a pulp.

The astronauts did as Chris had requested. They removed their helmets, and finally shook Chris’s hand. They were amazed that he spoke their language. Chris knew that they could not possibly know who he was, and he could read their minds.

“You are wondering how I can speak your language. I can read your minds,” he explained employing a little white lie. “But that is difficult to do. Go with Vasco here. He will implant small translators into your skull and then everyone will be able to converse with you. He will also show you to comfortable quarters, where you can freshen up. I also know the purpose of your visit. Vasco will tell you what happened to your unfortunate predecessors.”

“We must make contact with our home base first,” one of the astronaut said.

“Our council will decide if that will be possible,” Chris said. For the first time, the two newcomers showed a little fear. They realized that they were powerless to protest. Chris sensed their fear. “Do not be frightened,” he said. “You will not be harmed, and soon you will be grateful that you landed here.”

“We have so many questions,” one of them said to Chris.

“I know,” he answered. “I can only ask you to be patient. Please follow Vasco now and all your questions will be answered. I promise you.”

The men did indeed relax a little and they followed Vasco without fear.

As soon as they left and were out of sight, Chris boarded the ship. It was quite a bit upgraded from the ship he had flown. He looked around and noticed that this craft had four pods. He didn’t try to conjecture who the other two pods were for. He found the radio and activated it. After a short delay he heard excited voices on the other end. They were begging for a report.

“This is Bradley Perkins,” he told them, speaking in a hoarse voice, “The air on this planet is unbreathable. Our air supply has been compromised by strange looking worm like creatures which have invaded the air hoses. Alden is already dead and the creatures are devouring his corpse. I feel that I have only moments left. Do not send another ship to this abysmal, deadly place. Repeat, do not…” He allowed his voice to trail off.

That done, he found the craft’s computer system. He removed a disc from a case he was carrying and inserted it. Immediately a deadly computer virus took over. In a mini interval the virus destroyed the entire operating system of the space ship. The two astronauts would never leave Collosia or be able to contact the scientists back home. Chris knew how devastating this would be to them. It would be his job to convince them how lucky they were, and Vasco promised to help, as did their two wards. To make sure that his job was done, Chris took the ax used to break the glass to the fire extinguisher, and he smashed the instrument panel to smithereens. As soon as he left the ship, his own construction crew emerged out of nowhere, and started dissembling the space craft for useful scrap.

He returned home and proceeded immediately to Dr. Vasco’s laboratory. It was his job to make two unhappy young men, who were now scared and helpless, into the two happiest men on the planet. Thinking back to his own experience he knew that there would be resistance, acceptance and finally joy. He knew that his family had their work cut out for them.

While Chris was destroying the ship, Dr. Vasco implanted translator chips in the two astronauts’ skulls. They were healed immediately, which amazed them. He insisted that they shower to get rid of their space travel odor. While they bathed, he removed all their clothing so that they had no choice but to be naked. Vasco thought it was funny to see them try to hide their nakedness. Once they knew there were no women around, they relaxed slightly.

When Chris came home, Vasco took his leave and said that Chris would take over their enlightenment. Chris had them sit comfortably on a sofa, and began his narration.

“I am Chris, the astronaut whom you seek.” He stated simply and then paused dramatically to let it sink in.

“That’s impossible,” the one called Bradley said. “Chris would be over one hundred years old if he was released from suspended animation when his ship landed here. Besides you look like a typical Collosian.”

“I know it’s hard to believe,” Chris said, “but I have morphed, and my life expectancy is now one thousand Saturnuian years.” He went to a book shelf and removed a picture album. He sat down between the space travelers and opened the book. Vasco had done a good job chronicling Chris’s (and Christa’s) time on Collosia. Little by little they could see Chris’s transformation. He also narrated to them the events of Christa’s pregnancy, her untimely death, and her twin sons.

“The boys lived with Vasco and me,” Chris said, rather proudly.

“How long did it take your transformation to happen?” Brad asked. Everyone in the pictures was naked, and Bradley finally allowed his hands to stop covering his genital area. He was relaxing a little.

“About twenty Saturnian years,” Chris smiled back at him.

“So you and Dr. Vasco are ….” It took him forever to say, “lovers.”

“It is not a good thing to be exclusive on Collosia. It leads to jealousy. We live together, but have sex with others as the occasions arise.”

“But you were heterosexual when you left Saturnia. How in the world could you stomach having homosexual sex?” Alden asked.

“I resisted it for a long time, but one night Vasco broke down my reticence and gave me the best sex I had ever had in my life. Once my cock had grown to Collosian proportions, I was finally able to satisfy him to the fullest. Once I let go of my pre-programmed ideas about sexuality, I had sex with many other men. I will admit sex with Vasco is very special. He was my first after all.”

“That’s disgusting. Can we return to our ship and get out of here?” Brad asked.

“That won’t be possible,” Chris said as kindly as he could. “Your ship has been destroyed. We live in a Utopian society, and we are not about to let Saturnian barbarians or any other invaders destroy it. I have radioed back to your home base that our atmosphere will not sustain life, and that the entire planet is inhabited by hostile flesh eating worms. They think you are both dead.”

“You had no right,” Brad screamed.

“We had every right. This is our home and you have no right to come here and tell us that our ways are ‘disgusting.’ We are filled with love for one another, whether you think it’s disgusting or not.”

“You’re right,” Alden said. He sounded conciliatory. “But what is to become of us?”

Chris smiled, trying desperately to allay their fears. “Vasco’s twin sons used to live with us, but when they finished school, they were given a home of their own. The council has assigned you to live with them until you are acclimated. You are both astro-physicists. We have no space program here so we will have to find something else you would like to do. I myself belong to a construction crew.”

“I noticed that your lawns and gardens are not up to snuff,” Alden said. “I also hold a degree in landscape design. I would love to undertake that assignment, but I would need help.”

“That’s a great start,” Chris said. “What about you Brad?”

“The only other skill I have is Library Science. I have a degree. Do you have libraries here?”

“We sure do, and they could use a little organizing. Our two sons are coming here after work. We’ll have dinner together and then you’ll go home with them.

There are a couple of more things I must tell you. There are no women on this planet. We clone ourselves to reproduce. The twins have no idea that they were born of a woman. Please don’t disclose that to them. Also Collosians do not wear clothing and we have sex together anywhere, anytime. It takes some getting used to.”

“Never,” Alden said.

Chris laughed. “I said the same thing. You are in for a pleasant surprise.” Just then the younger Chris came in, and a short while later, young Vasco bounded through the front door. Dr. Vasco had prepared a wonderful vegetarian dinner which the guests ate with gusto. All meals on Collosia were vegetarian.

After dinner they sat around chatting for a while. Alden and Bradley could not get used to being nude and kept covering their cocks with their hands. As if it was planned, the younger Collosians began to make love to each other and Chris began to make love to Vasco. The visitors stared for a bit and Alden got an erection, but not Brad.

“Disgusting,” Brad yelled and he ran out of the room. Alden stayed until the elder Vasco came in Chris’s mouth, and then he too ran from the room. The younger Vasco ran after him. He caught both men sitting on the porch, and sat down with them. He spoke to them in a very calm and soothing manner.

“Please gentlemen, listen to me. My father Chris has told us often of the attitude towards male love you possess on your planet. None of us here can fathom how love can be ‘disgusting’ as you put it. By the same token, nobody is forced to make love here. You may never again in your lifetimes touch another living being. That is your choice, but I implore you to begin to assimilate. You will never leave this planet and it’s yours to enjoy. As your friend, I ask you to give us a chance. It won’t take you long to begin to enjoy the peace and tranquility we offer you. Think what your lives will be like when you are stress free. My father Chris has described your planet to us and it sounds like an awful place to live.”

“Is it so wrong to make love instead of war,” young Chris said as he approached the three men. “Come now, let us take you to your new home. It’s just a short walk from here.”

“Yes,” Alden said, “but allow us to thank your fathers for dinner and to say goodnight.”

“Our house has two bedrooms,” Vasco said, “but four men can easily sleep in the oversized beds in each room. When we have a party, we have slept as many as six in a bed. You two can have the second bedroom, but feel free to join us when you are ready and the mood strikes you. By the way we are having a bunch of friends over next sixth period evening.” Both newcomers looked confused at the term periods so Chris explained their time measurement system.

“If we are going to be friends, we should get to know about each other,” Vasco said. “I am a doctor like my father Vasco, and Chris here is a chef at one of our finest restaurants. We’ll go there for dinner one night. Our fathers think that we believe that we were cloned, but we know that we are half Saturnian. You see, while we were still students we found Dr. Vasco’s scrap book and we realized we are twins, and we are half of him and half of Christa. We didn’t wish to reveal that we knew their secret so we said nothing. That’s why we requested the privilege of teaching you our ways. It will be a painless process and you will feel better when you both start to work. The hardest part for you seems to be accepting our expressions of love.”

“Yes,” Chris added. “Wherever you go, you will find the men of Collosia making love. There is no shame in it, nor is it a private matter. It is a public sign of our love for all of our species, and not just one individual. Why is that shameful?”

“All of the religions on Saturnia preach that it is a terrible sin for two men to have sex together,” Alden said rather sheepishly.

“Exactly,” Brad corroborated Alden’s statement. Chris and Vasco broke out laughing.

“I have never heard such nonsense in my life, Vasco said. “Why it is the most natural, most joyous event in the world. How can that be a sin? Who in the world declared love to be a sin? I’ll stick to our ways, thank you.” That having been said, he grabbed Chris’s cock and they started to kiss. Alden and Brad looked at each other with displeasure.

“Could you do that in private out of our sight?” Brad asked.

“We can,” Chris laughed, “but good luck getting the rest of our world to obey your wishes. Anyway, Vasco has me all heated up, so let’s go to bed.”

Alden spent seven full periods examining the flora on Collosia. He was amazed and excited at the beauty and variety he discovered. He was able to secure a small shop in a mercantile section of the city, and with the help of the elder Chris’s construction crew, they set it up as a nursery and flower shop. It was the first such establishment on Collosia. He was even getting used to men suddenly stopping their labors to make love. He was sure he could never indulge in such sinful and shameful behavior himself, but at least he was getting used to seeing it all around him.

He dug up and potted dozens of beautiful plants, and when the shop was stocked and open for business, he was given two young boys, Mikal and Rikard, who had just reached puberty, to apprentice for him. The enigma was that they had to live with him, Brad, Vasco and Chris. That problem was instantly solved when Chris announced that there was plenty of room in his and Vasco’s bed. It was bad enough for Alden and Brad that they had to sleep naked at far ends of their huge bed, they did not want two naked young boys sharing it with them also.

The first job Alden undertook was Dr. Vasco’s home. He and the two lads worked for five long periods. Alden never tired and seemed to want to work through the recreation and sleep intervals. He was finally doing work that he loved and which gave him pleasure. He didn’t even try to scold the boys when they interrupted their work to make love. Whenever they did, he took a break himself. At first he looked away, but after a while he found himself watching and getting aroused. He didn’t dare tell Brad.

Finally Dr. Vasco’s house was fully landscaped. People from all over the city came to see it. When he and his apprentices saw the positive reaction their work received, they were very gratified. The boys loved the work also, and were glad that they had gotten in on the ground floor of a new profession. Their only disappointment was that they couldn’t get their foster father to make love with them.

Alden’s appointment book was filled for many periods to come. The shop was just as successful as the landscaping business. One of them had to be there at all times to handle the demand for potted and outdoor plants for do it yourselfers. If he was back on Saturnia, Alden would have been rich, but there was no monetary system on Collosia. Here everyone worked and the economy operated on a strict barter system.

Brad found the library well stocked with books, mostly instructional, but with lots of histories and fiction as well. Erotic male love stories seemed to abound. He even found ancient books with pictures of women. But the books were all over the place. With the help of the two existing librarians, the three men spent fourteen periods organizing the library into sections, and numbering each book. By the time they were through, Brad mockingly conferred degrees of Library Science on both men. At first Brad was impatient with them when they suddenly neglected their work and began to make love. Like Alden, he looked away and took a break himself. After a bit, he got used to it, in the library and other places he went, and he actually began to watch. He began to get erect when he watched and he would then pleasure himself. When his two assistants offered to help him along, he refused. He never told Alden about this.

When the library reopened, Dr. Vasco arranged for a band to play all day in front of the building to lure readers in. When the patrons entered, they were instructed to go to the desk, and ask for the location of the kind of book they were seeking. The three librarians proudly directed them to the appropriate section. By the end of the work intervals, it seemed that half the library’s books had been checked out. Each reader was admonished to return the books no later than fourteen periods hence. It was all done on an honor system, and Doubting Brad was advised by his co-workers that he had nothing to worry about.

During that period’s recreation intervals, Dr. Vasco, Alden, Brad, and young Vasco went to dinner at Chris’s restaurant to celebrate the reopening of the library. Chris cooked up a special meal for them that left them wanting more. Chris’s food must have been aphrodisiastic because men were making love all over the restaurant. Alden and Brad were shocked when the two Vascos began to make love. At some point, it was they who felt like odd men out, and they weren’t so sure that never might soon lose its ‘n’ and become ever.

They stayed until the restaurant closed, and then Alden, Brad, Vasco and Chris went home together. Alden and Brad could no longer hide their erections and this caused Chris and Vasco to erect also. When they got home Chris asked them point blank if they wanted to stop being foolish and to enjoy the miracle of sex with them. Both men were anxious to have the experience but were too embarrassed to admit it to the other, so Alden and Brad went to bed and continued to sleep chastely at opposite ends. Neither was aware of it then, but this was their last period as virgins to male love.

The next day was a sixth period. Brad had arranged with his co-workers that one of them would work every third sixth period so that they could keep the library open for working people. He did not have to work this period. Chris had to work because the restaurant was closed the first and second period and open on the sixth and seventh. Alden decided to go to the shop and water the plants, leaving Brad, Vasco, and the two young boys alone in the house.

Brad was enjoying sleeping in and lounging in bed, when he heard laughter coming from Vasco’s bedroom. There were no doors in the house, and he got up to see what was going on. Mikal, Rikard and Vasco were fully enjoying each other, Vasco was in the middle. He was fucking Mikal and Rikard was fucking him. They were all giggling like school boys, and suddenly Brad was filled with desire. He hadn’t touched another living being since leaving Saturnia, and his natural instincts reached out to the lovers on the bed, and before he realized the gravity of his question, it was asked.

“Can I join you?”

“There is never a need to ask. You may have sex with anyone on the planet, whenever you want to. Brad jumped into the bed and the other three disengaged themselves and started kissing Brad all over. They took turns sucking Brad’s cock, and when Vasco was sure he was getting close, he lubricated Brad’s cock and lowered himself on Brad’s pole. Brad still had a Saturnian size cock so Vasco had quite a job constricting his ass muscles to create a tight fit. As Vasco rode Brad, the boys were kissing him, and he could not believe he enjoyed their kisses as much as he was enjoying fucking a man. His orgasm came on slowly. It seemed to build in his legs and work up to his groin. He came screaming and yelling, “That was….that was….” He couldn’t find the words to describe it.

When all four had satisfied themselves in one way or another (Brad had even sucked Vasco’s enormous cock) they lay back exhausted on the bed. Brad was hugging Mikal and Vasco was hugging Rikard.

“Thank you. That was wonderful,” Brad said. “Why did you let me wait so long?”

“Sex is consensual on Collosia,” Vasco said. “Nobody is forced into it. I must ask you if you want Alden to wait any longer before becoming a full member of Collosian society.”

“I think it is time for Alden to be initiated to the joys of male sex,” Brad answered.

That night as Alden tried to fall asleep on his side of the bed, he was envisioning all the scenes of men having sex that he had seen that day. Suddenly he felt a hard cock pressing against his thigh. He was more than shocked when he realized that it was Brad. Brad took hold of Alden’s cock and started fondling it so Alden started to kiss Brad. Their kisses became more passionate until Brad scooted down and started to suck Alden’s cock.

Suddenly their bed was full of men. Every member of the household decided to initiate Alden into the pleasures of Collosian sex. On his part, Alden reluctantly admitted to himself that he had wanted this to happen for a very long time. When everyone was satisfied, Chris, Vasco and Rikard went back to sleep in the other bedroom and Brad and Alden fell asleep with Mikal between them.

The next period was a seventh period. The entire household was home. Brad and Alden shaved their heads and eyebrows, and when they went to the kitchen to have breakfast with their house mates, nobody was surprised. After breakfast, they told everyone that they wanted to go for a walk. They strolled to a nearby park. Men were making love all over the grass. Finally they spied a handsome man sitting alone on a bench.

They sat down beside him and started fondling and kissing him. The man smiled back and grabbed Alden’s cock. And so the space men were being properly initiated into Collosian society.

They both morphed into Collosians in half the time that it had taken the elder Chris. The younger Dr. Vasco had synthesized a hormone extract taken from pure bred Collosians. He injected it into Alden and Brad at intervals, and it seemed to accelerate the transformation. Eventually Mikal and Rikard got a place of their own, but by consent, the younger Vasco and Chris, and Alden and Brad decided to live together.

The Planet Collosia was never visited by spacemen from another planet ever again.
