Chapter Twenty-Two

KAI’S SOFT snores and the rumbling of the late-night celebration outside were the soundtrack to Ollie’s insomnia. He suspected he had a long sleepless night ahead of him, but he knew he was on the cusp of making a decision that would change his life irrevocably. Could he really believe what Kai had told him? After all, he hadn’t even known Kai a week ago.

He could have all sorts of ulterior motives to mislead Ollie. Kai snuffled in his sleep, and Ollie pulled him closer. He couldn’t bring himself to believe sweet, shy Kai capable of being duplicitous.

Then there was the little matter of the amazing sensations he experienced when they kissed, and the feelings only escalated as they touched and rutted against each other. He’d never been so carried away that he’d come in his underwear before he’d gotten his hands on a lover’s cock. The fire that had burned through his veins when Kai’s lips brushed his still lingered as a delightful buzz, and as he lay in the semidarkness, it was as if he were wrapped in a blanket of contentment.

But even though his endocrine system was bathing him in a cocktail of happy chemicals, there was no escaping the bigger questions he needed to ask himself. Was Kai telling the truth about them coming from another planet? Could Ollie accept he was an alien on the planet he considered home? By rights, he should dismiss the idea as fanciful bollocks, but a deep-rooted feeling in his belly told him not to be so hasty.

Kai mumbled in his sleep, and Ollie couldn’t drag his eyes away.

Along with her stories of Suns and Moons, his mother had, on occasion, given outlandish pseudo-instructions on how to shape a mountain range and make the tides of a sea more rhythmic. She’d lamented time after time how she thought it unfair she’d never had the chance to sculpt her own plateau or smooth the sides of a valley. Ollie hadn’t thought anything of it—just another stream of make-believe that accompanied his mum’s deterioration. But added to Kai’s claim that they were a race of planet builders, her stories began to make sense.

Kai had been right about some things, in particular the bit about how healthy Ollie had been. He couldn’t remember visiting a doctor for a real illness, only for annual checks that never revealed anything more sinister than carrying a few extra pounds, which he’d made a concerted effort to get rid of, only to be thwarted by his love of sweet things and beer.

Kai’s caerellon peeked out from beneath his hair, and Ollie was reminded of a conversation with the school’s doctor, who’d admitted he’d never seen anything like it and had poked and prodded at Ollie until he was left sore and with a nasty headache. No doctor in Harrea had a clue what it was or whether it had a purpose. Ollie and his mum were the only cases they’d seen, but here was Kai with a caerellon.
